What tests should you run to predict Elastomer Fatigue?

Date: October 15, 2025

Timetable: 2-3 PM: (8-9 am EDT)

Speaker/s: Thomas G. Ebbott, Ph.D.

Language: English

Experience how physical testing delivers the critical engineering parameters needed to predict fatigue failure in rubber components. Utilizing these parameters with Endurica’s advanced durability simulation software gives you a clear picture of how rubber parts perform under real-world conditions. Endurica's vice president Dr. Tom Ebbott will present the tests needed to predict fatigue in rubber components long before the first prototype is made. See these tests performed by Axel Products president Kurt Miller. Materials characterization through Endurica's Fatigue Property Mapping system is the validated and proven testing framework for elastomeric materials.

CASE STUDY

Rubber fatigue ≠ metal fatigue: thermal effects

While metals and rubbers both experience temperature-dependent fatigue, rubber's response is significantly more sensitive due to its low thermal conductivity and unique material properties. Endurica’s fatigue solvers account for these complex thermal effects, ensuring accurate analysis and helping engineers optimize rubber durability in real-world conditions.
