Characterizing Elastomer Fatigue Behavior for Analysis and Engineering - October 23-25, 2017
Elastomers are outstanding in their ability to repeatedly endure large deformations, and they are often applied where fatigue performance is critical. Their macromolecular structure gives rise to unique behaviors, and so appropriately specialized experimental methods are needed to characterize, analyze, and design for durability. This 3-day course will give you powerful approaches to anticipate, diagnose and solve fatigue-related issues.
Application of Rubber Fatigue Analysis with Endurica CL - October 26-27, 2017
For many companies, validating the service life for an elastomeric product is the most time-consuming and expensive stage of the product development process. The physical testing requires investment in prototypes that will be destroyed and lengthy trials that execute on expensive equipment. This course shows how Endurica CL software can be applied to virtually evaluate fatigue performance and solve design issues at the concept stage. After this 2-day course, you will be ready to use the software to diagnose and solve fatigue issues.
