Know Your Material with Fatigue Property Mapping Testing Services from Endurica
Fatigue analysis of elastomers is famously tricky but it doesn’t have to be. The Fatigue Property MappingTM family of characterization protocols systematically measures the factors that govern durability. The result is a set of engineering parameters that are ready to use with durability simulation codes such as Endurica CLTM and fe-safe/rubberTM. It is a powerful and efficient way to see how your rubber part endures under realistic operating conditions. Pick the modules you need to get just the right physics into your analysis. READ MORE

The Fatigue Threshold of Rubber and Its Characterization Using the Cutting Method
Below a limiting value of tearing energy called the intrinsic strength or fatigue threshold (T0), cracks will not grow in rubber due to fatigue; hence, this material characteristic is important to understand from both fundamental and practical perspectives. We summarize key aspects of the fatigue threshold, including the Lake-Thomas molecular interpretation... READ MORE
Critical Plane Analysis in Rubber
Durability is an essential feature of most elastomer products, directly linked to safety and to perceptions of brand quality. Product designers must therefore consider the impact on product durability of typical and abusive end-user loading scenarios. This can be accomplished using critical plane analysis... READ MORE
Akron Unveils Rubber Worker Statue
The 12-foot high, cast bronze statue depicts a rubber worker hand-wrapping a tire and is based on the image on the cover of the 1999 book “Wheels of Fortune: The Story of Rubber in Akron” by David Giffels and Steve Love.READ MORE
