Fig. 5: Comparison of the experimental and theoretical maps.
From: Quantitative stress and damage mapping in multiple network elastomers using a single mechanophore
A Fluorescence maps for the elastomer with a circular hole. The black line and blue line represent the stress-strain curves from the first and second uniaxial tension tests at a stretch rate of 0.05 /s. The fluorescence maps (i to iv) correspond to different stretch levels from the first test, while maps (v to vi) are from the second test. B Comparison of simulated and measured distributions of normalized fluorescence intensity for two cycles with a stretch of 2.35. C Comparison of experimental stress maps and simulated ones for TN with a circular hole at different stretch ratios. It is noted that the experimental stress is mapped from the fluorescence in (A) during the first cycle. D Comparison between simulated distribution of damage percentage and experimental distribution of normalized decreased intensity for TN with a stretch of 2.35.
