Abstract

This paper describes the realization of an automated system for rubber characterization in spearfishing applications. These materials, once lengthened, thanks to their ability to shrink very quickly, are used as dart propellers in fishing spears. The system permits the evaluation of the rubber behavior getting its stress vs. strain curve, allowing also the study of the effects of one or more parameters change like the maximum percentage elongation and the time elapsed between the stretching and shrinking phases at which the device under test is subject.
