$ T$ R- `$ t! EDetroit, MI - Elastomers are said to be outstanding in their ability to repeatedly endure large deformations, and they are often applied where fatigue performance is a critical consideration. Because the macromolecular structure of elastomers gives rise to a number of unique behaviors, appropriately specialized methods are needed to characterize, analyze and design for durability. A free seminar on "Introduction to fatigue methods for rubber and to fe-safe/Rubber" will take place on August 21 at Axel Products in Detroit, MI. This half-day seminar provides an introduction to the technology behind fe-safe/Rubber, the first commercial suite of software that offers a fatigue solution for rubbers and elastomers. A second seminar on "Theory and application of rubber fatigue analysis" will be held August 22-23 at Axel Products in Detroit, MI. This class gives participants the theoretical and practical know-how to deal effectively with fatigue issues at the beginning of the design cycle.
