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: what to do when linear superposition fails

This article presents the challenges of conducting fatigue analysis on rubber components due to their nonlinear behaviour, contrasting this with linear superposition methods used in metal fatigue analysis. Traditional linear methods are effective for linear materials, allowing for efficient stress-strain history generation through the scaling of finite element (FE) solutions based on input load histories. However, these methods fail for rubber because of its complex material properties and behaviours.
