Wohler Curves
or
Fracture Mechanics?
|
|
Endurica uses a fracture mechanics based description of rubber’s fatigue behavior, rather than the classical Wohler curve (ie S-N curve) approach. This is why: READ MORE

Proper tear testing of elastomers: Why you should tear up the Die C tear test
|
|
... It might be a stretch to say that tears will come to your eyes if you don’t get tear testing of elastomers right, but proper measurement of critical tearing energy (tear strength) is essential for effective materials development for durability. READ MORE

Our office is brimming with new talent this summer as we welcome three university interns. Yang Chen, Ph.D. candidate at Michigan State University. Yang (far left) is completing his dissertation on environmental aging coupled with the fatigue properties of adhesives and joins us as he explores commercialization avenues. Ethan Steiner, senior BSME student at the University of Toledo (second from right) returns full-time this summer, working on tire modeling and the impact of sidewall lettering on fatigue. Kerrigan Dick, International Business major at Bowling Green State University (far right) is tackling a number of marketing initiatives including world-wide search engine optimization. Stay tuned for updates on their projects and impact at Endurica.

Join Will Mars, Endurica's founder & President, and Harish Radhakrishnan, Product Manager at Ansys as they demonstrate a co-simulation workflow for rubber products in which stress-strain fields solved by Ansys Mechanical evolve due to material property changes. Endurica's cosimulation workflows enable you to simulate cyclic softening and ageing effects and updates your Ansys model to show how material evolution impacts structural performance.
