Computational data for The single edge notch fracture test for viscoelastic elastomers

Dataset

Description

This dataset accompanies the research paper "The single edge notch fracture test for viscoelastic elastomers" by Kamarei, Sozio, and Lopez-Pamies, published in the Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics (2026). Making use of the Griffith criticality condition introduced by Shrimali and Lopez-Pamies (Extreme Mechanics Letters 58: 101944, 2023), the paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the single edge notch fracture test for viscoelastic elastomers — combining a parametric study with direct comparisons against experiments — to reveal how non-Gaussian elasticity, nonlinear viscosity, and intrinsic fracture energy interact to govern fracture nucleation from a pre-existing crack. The dataset contains figure data, numerical results, and supporting materials for reproducing the findings of the paper.
