Fig. 4. Experimental penetration curves of cutting in silicone rubber. (a) Results for two nominally identical specimens with an initial cut of a = 25 mm under a displacement rate of 0.1 mm / s. (b) Influence of strain rate on the penetration curves: 0.1 mm / s (initial cut of 25 mm) and 0.03 mm / s (initial cut of 20 mm)
