| description | Fatigue of rubber in compression is of high interest for many industrial applications. In this contribution, new lifetime investigations of filled EPDM rubber are performed in the compression range. A new test rig with measuring device is applied, which enables high-precision compression tests up to 80% (engineering strain). Due to a special design of the specimen holder, a nearly homogeneous strain field can be achieved. As a result, new fatigue studies in the compression range (displacement- and force-controlled) can be conducted. In addition, it can be concluded that crack initiation and failure occur in the nearly homogeneous deformed measuring zone. |
