Characterization Services

Endurica’s characterization services provide precise, physics-informed insights into the fatigue performance of elastomers. Our suite of tests equips you with the critical material parameters needed for accurate simulations and product design optimization. Endurica’s Fatigue Property Mapping service provides all the input you need for your product simulations, helping you understand and predict material behavior under real-world conditions.

Fatigue Property Mapping^TM characterization protocols systematically measure the factors that govern durability. The resulting engineering parameters are ready to use with durability simulation codes including Endurica CL^TM, Endurica DT^TM, Endurica EIE^TM, and Endurica MP^TM. These powerful and efficient tests show how your rubber part endures under realistic operating conditions. Begin with the Core Fatigue and Hyperelastic modules, then add on the items you need to get the physics just right in your analysis.

Why engineers choose Endurica characterization services

Material parameters ready to use with simulation software: Abaqus, ANSYS, Marc, fe-safe/Rubber™ and Endurica CL™
Full support for both nucleation (ε-N) or (σ-N) and crack propagation (da/dN) analysis methods
Accurate and timely results via uniquely reliable and productive test strategies
Reduced risk and cost of development iterations when you take your material’s fatigue capabilities into account

How our characterization modules work together

While the Hyperelastic Module and the Core Fatigue Module are mandatory for any test, you can build a testing regimen that’s specific to your material to get the physics right.
