Fatigue, Vol. 24, No. 9, pp. 949-961, 2002. • Crack Nucleation Approach (S-N style) • Crack Growth Approach (dc/dn = f(T)) • Today - Important Factors • Mechanical Load History • Environmental Conditions • Rubber Formulation • Stress-Strain Behavior

  3. Parameters for Simple Histories

  4. Effect of Minimum Strain • Filled NR Cadwell et al, Ind. Eng. Chem., Anal. Ed., 12, 19 (1940)

  13. Effects of Ozone and Oxygen CIIR Natural Rubber Young, RCT, 59, 809 (1986)

  14. Electrical Charges? • Electro- & tribo- elastic effects cause electric charges to accumulate under cyclic deformation. • Metallic grips grounded, then insulated. • Effect on fatigue resistance. • Grounded condition gives longer fatigue life • Larger filler loading - larger effect Dogadkin et al, RCT, 33, 970 (1960)
