Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elastomeric components are widely used in engineering. Increasing demands are placed on them to withstand hostile conditions such as high temperature and corrosive environments. These demands make it harder to predict likely service life or improve design to ensure their longer-term performance. This important book reviews the wealth of research on understanding fatigue and failure in elastomers, and how this understanding can be used to predict and extend their service life.The first part of the book reviews factors determining ageing behaviour such as heat, corrosive environments, wear and cracking. It also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of current service prediction models. The second part of the book focuses on analysing and improving the design and service life of particular applications such as O-rings, bearings, springs and valves.With its distinguished editor and team of contributors, Elastomers and components: service life prediction; progress and challenges is an invaluable reference for engineers involved in the design and use of elastomers. Looks at the wealth of research on understanding fatigue and failure in elastomers Discusses the strengths and weaknesses of current service prediction models An invaluable reference for engineers

Download or read book Service Life Assessment of Elastomers written by V. Coveny and published by Maney Pub. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-author book is the first in a new series from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining's Rubber in Engineering Committee. It presents the basic principles underlying the service life prediction of elastomers in engineering applications and includes a number of case studies. Elastomeric materials are almost ubiquitous in engineering, yet such materials are rarely included in the typical engineering curriculum. The net result is that engineers in industry are often ill prepared for the unique problems associated with designing elastomers. This book aims to redress the balance in the area of life prediction and to inform the reader of the benefits and limitations of established and emerging approaches.

Download or read book Thermoplastic Elastomers written by Chapal Kumar Das and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), commonly known as thermoplastic rubbers, are a category of copolymers having thermoplastic and elastomeric characteristics. A TPE is a rubbery material with properties very close to those of conventional vulcanized rubber at normal conditions. It can be processed in a molten state even at elevated temperatures. TPEs show advantages typical of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. TPEs are a class of polymers bridging between the service properties of elastomers and the processing properties of thermoplastics. Nowadays, the best use of thermoplastics is in the field of biomedical applications, starting from artificial skin to many of the artificial human body parts. Apart from these, thermoplastic elastomers are being used for drug encapsulation purposes, and since they are biocompatible in many cases, their scope of applications has been broadened in the biotechnological field as well. The present book highlights many biological and biomedical applications of TPEs from which the broader area readers will benefit.

Download or read book Finite Element Analysis of Elastomers written by David Boast and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by leading researchers and practitioners, Finite Element Analysis of Elastomers blends established knowledge in this important area with up-to-date research topics, practical hints and thought-provoking new ideas. The Editors, have compiled contributions by leading researchers and practitioners in finite element analysis (FEA): the result is an authoritative and agenda-setting volume. Finite element modelling can only be as good as the constitutive laws (material models) used, the means of obtaining and fitting the data for those models, and the accuracy of the boundary conditions. (The latter is of particular importance in cases of contact.) All three questions recieve particular attention in this book, as do aspects such as the interpretation and accuracy of FE outputs, with many practical examples being given. There is a short section on fatigue and failure, where particular concerns and approaches in this challenging area are discussed. Comprehensive coverage is given to particular issues concerning the problems of working with real elastomers, especially filled materials. Key features include: Constitutive laws for hyperelastic and inelastic aspects of behaviour Appropriate test methods Curve fitting to obtain constants for constitutive laws Interpretation of finite element results Modelling of crack growth Example applications.
