Proper tear testing of elastomers: Why you should tear up the Die C tear test
I spent an interesting and rewarding part of my career helping to lead an elastomer technical college in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. One of the rubber technology words that was challenging for the Saudis to say in English was ‘tear’. They initially pronounced it like the heteronym related to crying. 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 READ MORE
Introducing our Client Spotlight Series
Check out our newest feature: Converting Road Loads into a Block Cycle Schedule
Endurica CL transforms massive amounts of data into proven durability insights.
Rubber part durability testing is often specified via a block cycle schedule. A block cycle schedule is a series of simple load cases, each repeated for a given duration, in hopes that the total schedule of simple load cases will adequately represent the damage and failure mode produced by real-world use and/or abuse. Starting from multi-channel road load input, this presentation shows how the Endurica workflow automatically generates a block cycle schedule that greatly simplifies complex loading scenarios while preserving essential details and failure mode.

Ageing and Tires - A cutting-edge feature that is so easy to use a college intern figured it out!
Admittedly, he's not your average intern. Our University of Toledo third-year mechanical engineering intern, Ethan Steiner, took on the challenge of learning the new ageing feature in Endurica CLTM and then presented his findings to our user base as part of a Fatigue Ninja Friday webinar -- an invitation-only series that is part of how we carry out our mission of providing outstanding client support. Webinar attendees complimented Ethan on his presentation and now it's available for you, too, through the Endurica Academy. READ MORE
