This article presents the main aspects of testing the tensile strength and elasticity of rubber materials using static methods. It outlines the importance and applications of rubber materials, particularly rubber in industries such as automotive, electrical engineering, and medicine. The mechanical properties of rubber, such as tensile, compressive, and bending behaviors, are studied, and the impact of factors like temperature, deformation, and material composition on these properties is analyzed. The article also discusses the standard sample types and testing methods used to measure the strength and elasticity of rubber. The results of these tests are crucial for determining the suitability and service life of rubber materials, as well as evaluating their potential for use in various fields.
