Application of Rubber Fatigue Analysis with Endurica Software
For many companies, validating the service life for an elastomeric product is the most time-consuming and expensive stage of the product development process. The physical testing requires investment in prototypes that will be destroyed and lengthy trials that execute on expensive equipment. This course shows how Endurica's software can be applied to virtually evaluate fatigue performance and solve design issues at the concept stage. After this four-session course, you will be ready to use Endurica's software to diagnose and solve fatigue issues early in your product development process.

Format
The Application of Rubber Fatigue Analysis with Endurica Software features live lectures and live exercises to familiarize you with Endurica’s workflow and software solutions. This course is a virtual training event and a link to the presentation of each class will be made available to registrants for their reference/review. These links will be active for seven days after the class date so attendees will have time to review the technical details and/or make up classes they may not be able to attend live.
Instructor
Dr. Will Mars is an international authority on damage mechanics in elastomers and the founder/president of Endurica. An engaging presenter, he enjoys answering questions and facilitating class discussions to ensure understanding.
Endurica LLC reserves the right to cancel a scheduled training course if the minimum class size is not met. In the event of a cancellation, Endurica LLC will make every attempt to notify registered participants within five working days. Payment made for a canceled course will be refunded in full or applied to another scheduled training course.
Participant cancellations must be received at least 10 working days in advance. Registrations canceled by participants less than 10 working days before the training course begins are subject to a 50% cancellation charge. For cancellations occurring on the first day of a scheduled training course, and for "no shows," the full tuition fee is non-refundable.
