We demonstrate here an accounting of damage accrual under road loads for a filled natural rubber bushing. The accounting is useful to developers who wish... Continue reading

Fatigue life prediction of elastomer NVH suspension products has become an operating norm for OEMs and suppliers during the product quoting process and subsequent technical... Continue reading
The orientation of cracks initiating under cyclic loading is normally set by the maximum principal direction of the applied stress. In simple tension, this causes... Continue reading
Tires require rubber compounds capable of enduring more than 108 deformation cycles without crack growth. One strategy for evaluating candidate compounds is to measure the... Continue reading
Tires in service - especially in rough terrain - show a behavior which is well known as the cut and chip (CC) effect. This work... Continue reading
Crack tip fields during cutting and tensile loading have been computed via finite element analysis, and measured using Digital Image Correlation during experiments executed on... Continue reading
The orientation of cracks initiating under cyclic loading in rubber may depend not only on maximizing the energy release rate, but also – in the... Continue reading
In this work, we present the Endurica EIETM nonlinear load mapping procedure, which provides a means by which the strain/stress histories resulting from full road... Continue reading
Undispersed filler agglomerates or other substantial inclusions/contaminants in rubber can act as large crack precursors that reduce the strength and fatigue lifetime of the material.... Continue reading
Below a limiting value of tearing energy called the intrinsic strength or fatigue threshold (T0), cracks will not grow in rubber due to fatigue; hence,... Continue reading
