Fatigue stiffness loss and life prediction technique development of a real rubber automotive component by means of Finite Element Analysis
The main aim of the study has been to investigate the potential of providing a complete rubber fatigue behaviour predictions. The work explores the nucleation and growth of cracks, but including stiffness loss and damage evolution. It has been performed in two filled rubbers, one natural rubber and...
