SUMMARY:Winning on Durability: Predicting Elastomer Fatigue: The Tests that Really Matter
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n  \nSee the physical tests that provide the engineering parameters governing fatigue failure and learn why they are so useful in fatigue simulation.  Endurica’s vice president Dr. Tom Ebbott and Axel Physical Testing Services president Kurt Miller show the tests needed to predict fatigue in rubber components long before the first prototype is made. Materials characterization through Endurica’s Fatigue Property Mapping system is the validated and proven testing framework for elastomeric materials. \nThis is a new and updated production based on our very first webinar which ranks among our most watched videos. Join us to see the significant additions made since the “What tests should you run to predict elastomer fatigue?” webinar was recorded in 2020. \nIn this webinar you will: \nDiscover Proven Testing Methods: Learn how cutting-edge physical tests reveal the key engineering parameters for predicting fatigue failure in rubber components. \nLearn With Expert Insights: Gain valuable knowledge from industry leaders\, Dr. Tom Ebbott and Kurt Miller\, on optimizing your testing and simulation strategies. \nBoost Operational Efficiency: Understand how equipping your team with the right information can enhance decision-making and accelerate your entire operation’s progress. \nEndurica’s Fatigue Property Mapping characterization protocols systematically measure the factors that govern durability. These powerful and efficient tests show how your rubber part endures under realistic operating conditions. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Winning on Durability User Spotlight on Rail: Trelleborg with Dr. Nina Heinrich
DESCRIPTION:Rubber durability isn’t just a detail — it’s the difference between success and failure — especially in the rail industry. That’s why Endurica’s Winning on Durability series dives deep into the game-changing issues\, cutting-edge technologies\, and best practices that drive success in elastomeric materials\, products\, and system development. In this special live episode straight from Trelleborg Antivibration Systems in Switzerland\, we explore rail industry applications\, an emerging sector of importance for Endurica Europe. \nWe are excited to spotlight Trelleborg AVS which leads the way in noise and vibration control with advanced polymer technology and world-class expertise in rubber-to-metal bonding. While their innovations serve industries from machine tools to marine and mass transit\, this episode focuses on Trelleborg’s groundbreaking work in rail applications. \nMore Information\nOur special guest is Nina Heinreich\, Ph.D.\, the global leader of Trelleborg’s simulation-based product development engineers. She ensures common development strategies are employed around the world for the engineering calculation and validation activities throughout Trelleborg’s development processes. Dr. Heinreich has been using Endurica since 2022\, presented her work at our Eclipse with Endurica Community Conference and shared her insights within Trelleborg’s promotions for the rail industry’s largest annual gathering\, the 2024 InnoTrans Conference.   \nJoin us as Dr. Heinreich shares her work predicting a rubber spring’s Wohler line with Endurica in the presence of self-contact. \nThe Abstract: \nFatigue tests with different load amplitudes under fully relaxing conditions were carried out to obtain the Wohler line of a conical rubber-to-metal spring\, which is representative for railway applications. Using Abaqus FEA\, the same load cases were simulated to calculate the strain histories and\, subsequently\, a fatigue life prediction from Endurica. A close agreement between measured and calculated life was found\, in particular for low load amplitude. At high amplitude\, the calculation overestimates the life about a factor of three. For this type of deviation self-contact\, which intensifies with increasing load\, is discussed as a likely reason. Further challenges\, i. e. extrapolation of measured material properties and varying failure criterions\, will be highlighted. \nDon’t miss this exclusive opportunity to gain insights from one of the industry’s top minds. Join us for Winning on Durability—LIVE from Switzerland! \n  \nRegister Now\n  \nCan’t make the presentation on April 23rd? No worries! We take the FOMO out.  Register now and we will send you a recording of the event. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Winning on Durability
DESCRIPTION:Small features on molded rubber parts\, such as small radius fillets\, mold injection ports\, and tire vents\, can significantly affect fatigue performance due to their stress-concentrating effects. However\, these critical details are often overlooked because of the challenges they pose in meshing. \nAccurate fatigue life prediction hinges on precise stress and strain calculations\, which are directly tied to mesh quality. Join us for an in-depth discussion on: \n\nSmall features and mesh quality impact on fatigue life.\nCore principles for effective mesh development.\nTools to simplify and optimize your meshing process.\n\nIn this webinar\, Dr. Will Mars\, founder and President of Endurica\, is joined by Greg Vernon\, Director of Product at Coreform\, and Mark Bauman\, Engineering Analyst at Endurica. The team will demonstrate how Coreform Cubit tackles these challenges within Endurica CL. Using an automotive bushing as an example\, the team will showcase real-world applications in the rubber industry and provide actionable insights for achieving accurate fatigue predictions with minimal effort. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn how to master the details that make all the difference in accurate fatigue analysis.
