Before you start
Before beginning this TLP, you should understand the elasticity of rubber, including the concept of an entropy spring. Take a look at The Stiffness of Rubber TLP.
You should also be aware of how a tensile test is carried out. Take a look at the Introduction to Mechanical Testing TLP.
