Introducing the first commercially available software tool for fatigue analysis of rubber and elastomers, designed for developers who rely on simulation to address design challenges. As the demand for durability simulation grows, this tool fills a gap in the market, providing a dedicated solution for elastomers, complementing the long-standing fatigue analysis tools for metallic components.

fe-safe/Rubber is a:

  • Unique, patented solution for simulating fatigue failure in elastomers.
  • Specialized tool designed specifically for elastomers, with strong validation.
  • Developed by Endurica, a leader in elastomer technology.

Fe-safe/Rubber at a Glance

  • Fatigue characterization using common experimental data.
  • Pre-populated materials database, add proprietary options.
  • Patented critical plane algorithm for multiaxial loading.
  • Rain flow counting for variable amplitude damage.
  • Accurate nonlinear material models, including temperature/time effects.
  • Integrated with fe-safe for easy access to FEA results and material selection.

Capabilities

  • Estimates rubber fatigue life using FEA and material properties.
  • Predicts crack formation by analyzing duty cycle repeats.
  • Displays fatigue life as color contours, highlighting critical areas.
  • Rain flow counting to accumulate damage from each duty cycle.
  • Nonlinear material models with a database for elastomer types.
  • Patented critical plane algorithm for finite straining and multiaxial loading.

Benefits

  • Enhances confidence at the start of the design cycle.
  • Optimizes the design process with research-validated software.
  • Provides insights into failure by focusing on critical features.
  • Enables informed decisions on material behavior and service conditions.
  • Reduces costs from build-and-break experiments for qualified designs.
