Calibrating Precusor Size in Endurica CL
|
|
Crack precursors exist in all elastomers owing to the heterogeneous microstructure, even before any loads are applied. The size of the typical precursor must be specified as part of the Endurica fatigue analysis workflow. The best practice for finding the precursor size is to leverage both crack growth and crack nucleation experiments to enforce agreement between the nucleation test results and

Solving the Durability Puzzle
|
|
Ever thought about what it takes to deliver the durability you expect from products you use? Durability reflects the combined sum of many decisions made all along the supply chain. What sources to use for raw materials?
What dimensions and shape for product features? Are there OEM- or customer-imposed design constraints? What load cases occur in manufacturing, shipping, installation, and operation? Manufacturing processes? OEM-specified qualification and / or regulatory testing requirements? What is the warranty or brand promise? If these decisions are not made well,

An Endurica First:
All 3 Courses in one place at one time!
|
|
Join us
in the UK at Rubber Consultants headquarters in Brickendonbury, Hertford, the week before the IRC 2019 in London.
This is the very first time Endurica is running all three of our classes at one time in one place! The training will run in two tracks.
Track 1
is aimed at product engineering, structural analysis and testing professionals.
Track 2
is for materials engineering and lab testing professionals. Endurica training gives your staff mutually reinforcing strategies optimized for cross discipline application. Avoid and solve durability issues, and get durability right!
To register, please contact Louise Harris

What to Measure in Fatigue Testing of Elastomers
|
|
Check out this video! Endurica's Fatigue Property Mapping service measures the elastomeric properties that determine fatigue performance of your part in operation. Use these measurements with FEA and numerical fatigue simulation software like fe-safe/Rubber or Endurica CL to anticipate and manage fatigue performance.
