Choice of curing cycles of vulcanizing rubber composites
In the paper a method of calculation of an optimal temperature-time curing cycle of rubber composite articles is submitted. The method is based on the use of a mathematical model, described by system of nonlinear differential equations. A method of determination of mathematical model parameters is considered. The description of limitations, imposed on the curing process is indicated. Results of calculation of optimum curing cycles for products of various thickness of the same type of a rubber composite are shown.
