A lot of experimental results on the elastic as well as on the inelastic behavior of elastomer materials are known. However, so far now systematic examination on defined rubber mixtures has been reported. In this presentation the phenomenology of elastomer materials is characterized on the basis of extension and compression tests performed with dumbbell– and S2–specimen. Stiffness, upturn (stiffness at final deformation), hysteresis and remaining deformation have been analyzed for well defined rubber systems and environmental conditions.
