Traditional build and break design processes take too long and are too risky, especially when the part has to endure a very long life cycle. There is a better way.
A rubber compound’s intrinsic strength has great utility for rubber product developers: By keeping tearing energy at all times below the intrinsic strength, a developer can assure indefinite life with minimum effort.
Additionally, fatigue crack growth rate behavior can be rapidly approximated from knowledge of tear strength and intrinsic strength.
Meeting infinite life requirements is possible.
Join us for this webinar exploring the use of Endurica CL to determine the durability of your rubber product long before you mold your first prototype.
This event is free of charge: registration is required to attend.
It uses a web platform that does not require local software installation. You can join the session via: Mac, PC, or any mobile device.
Registered participants will receive the link and credentials to participate at the email address provided during registration.
You can ask questions and participate in the discussion via the chat function in the web platform.

CASE STUDY
The article focuses on the difference in fatigue behaviour between rubber and metal materials. While metal fatigue is often described by a simple rule: increasing mean strain is detrimental to fatigue life, rubber fatigue is more complex and depends on the material's ability to strain crystallize. The text concludes that while tensile mean stresses are always detrimental in metals, in rubber they may be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether the rubber can strain crystallize.
