The research aims to understand how chemical compounds influence the fatigue failure in fiber-reinforced rubber used in automotive applications.
Developed a quantitative simulation model for material analysis and prediction of service life.
Analyzed cyclic loads on fiber-reinforced rubber shock-absorbing elements.
Evaluated the degradation factor representing accumulating fatigue damage.
Conducted verification of microstructural failure using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Model predicts a 36.3% reduction in peak force after 10 fatigue cycles.
Observations confirm a transition from high elastic integrity to lower resistance post-critical displacement.
Quantitative link established between microstructural failure and performance decay.
