My understanding is rubber does not have an yield point/it is not reported in standard specs.Can we safely use 1/3 of UTS which is a guaranteed value as Minimum UTS by all rubber manufacturers?
Please advice
Thanks a million

The designer can design the component only on the basis of the allowable stress for the material.The working stress will be much lower than the yield/max stress .I want to know the safety factor on yield/ Ultimate tensile stress.
All temperatures are ambient.
Thanks
