Peculiarities of Elastic Properties of Highly Filled Polymer Materials

Results of experimental studies of low modulus and highly filled polymers are given. The analysis is performed that allows the understanding of deformation mechanism of media whose mechanical properties have some peculiarities: anomalously high values of lateral deformation factor, different modulus and a very small ratio of shear modulus to bulk modulus. For the description of deformations of highly filled polymeric materials, tensor-nonlinear equations are used. Results of calculations according to the proposed model are compared with results of specimens testing.
