Durability Solutions for Elastomers in Extreme Applications
In the defense and aerospace industries, elastomeric components must withstand some of the harshest environments on the planet—whether in active battle scenarios or flying intercontinental routes. Endurica’s advanced fatigue analysis software empowers you to design elastomer components like seals, hoses, gaskets — even tank track pads — to endure extreme conditions. Our solutions help your parts meet rigorous durability standards, minimizing failure risks, lowering maintenance costs, and increasing operational efficiency across demanding applications.
Optimize Elastomer Components for Extreme Aerospace and Defense Applications
Endurica's solutions help engineers meet durability requirements in multiple scenarios. Explore the possibilities to add value for your program.
Design for Harsh Conditions
Simulate the impact of extreme underwater pressures, corrosive environments, and fluctuating temperatures on elastomer components used in defense applications. We help you know how long your rubber parts will last long before production begins.
Extended Component Lifespan
Optimize material selection and design to extend the operational life of critical components such as seals, gaskets, and hoses. Endurica’s fatigue analysis software helps you determine durability and optimize your designs to reduce the frequency of part replacements.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
By accurately predicting material fatigue and failure, Endurica’s software enables you to design components that reduce maintenance costs. Prevent unplanned downtime by using predictive analysis to plan better maintenance schedules.
Improve Sealing and Fluid Containment
Test and optimize the sealing capabilities of elastomer components in high-pressure fluid systems. Endurica helps ensure reliable sealing in applications like hydraulic systems and subsea operations, reducing the risk of leaks.
Tailored Solutions for Aerospace and Defense
Endurica’s tools support your classified and critical projects, invloving developments such as airplanes, where elastomer components must endure variable loads, extreme weather, and fatigue. Our fatigue analysis software helps you meet the durability requirements of these critical systems.
Heat Resistance for High-Temperature Applications
Elastomeric components must withstand extreme heat and cold conditions, such as those found in deserts and the tropospheric and stratospheric atmospheric levels. Simulate heat-related fatigue to improve safety and reliability.

United States Small Business Administration (SBA) Honors Endurica
Endurica's first project helped the U.S. government optimize Abrams tank track pads. Endurica’s technology has been integrated into the materials group within U.S. Army AMC/REDCOM/TARDEC for rubber development for track systems. Prior to this, the Army could spend as much as $2 million per test to perform fatigue analysis.
Endurica received the highest honor the SBA bestows on firms developing cutting edge technologies -- the Tibbetts Award. A Tibbetts Award is a prestigious national award given to individuals, organizations, or small businesses that demonstrate exceptional achievement in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, recognizing their significant contributions to technological innovation and commercialization of federal research, named after Roland Tibbetts, the founder of the SBIR program.
