Aiming at the problem of the fatigue life prediction of rubber under the influence of
temperature, the effects of thermal ageing and fatigue damage on the fatigue life of rubber …

An effective tensile strain ε t for rubber fatigue under positive and negative ratios was
proposed for the design of rubber products in the industry. It was applied to the cylindrical …

Elastomeric components have wide usage in many industries. The typical service loading for
most of these components is variable amplitude and multiaxial. In this study a general …

It is desirable to obtain a fatigue criterion that can be correlated to different rubbers with both
mechanical and temperature effects. In this paper, we investigated the possibility to correlate …

A potential novel approach was proposed to predict fatigue damage based on the shear
modulus of the rubber material and the effective tensile strain. This methodology was …

The effective strain criterion, unifying multimode and multiaxial loadings to a single
parameter and being expressed in analytical form with no need to rotate a plane to search …

An accurate prediction of the fatigue life of a rubber product is based on a criterion. Since
strain can be measured directly in rubber components during a test, it would help design …

In this case study, we introduce a new approach by applying the most recent fatigue
criterion, effective tensile stress, to a rail vehicle suspension spring for the first time. Without …

In this study, a new concept of the elastic constant ratio was introduced to derive an S‐N
base function, which has removed the requirement of the shear modulus to be measured in …

A shape change can initiate fatigue damage in rubber components, which has led to the
development of the effective shear strain γ t criterion in this investigation. Referring to the …
