There are many ways that the fatigue behavior of rubber differs from that of metals. This presentation covers one of the most astonishing differences: the tendency of larger mean strains to significantly INCREASE the fatigue life of some rubbers! 

Find out:

• How far can you push this counter-intuitive effect to gain a performance advantage in your applications? 
• How can you accurately measure and anticipate the effect via testing and simulation? 
• What are the physics governing the effect? 
• Why is Critical Plane Analysis necessary to accurately predict fatigue life for large mean strains? 
• What is the temperature dependence of the effect? 

Get answers to all of these questions and get ready to get durability right!
