Compare DMA and RPA in predicting fatigue crack growth
Resistance to crack propagation is a key determinant of the durability of elastomeric parts. This webinar examines whether the micro-dispersion state of carbon black fillers, assessed through the strain sweep measured with an RPA (Rubber Process Analyzer) rheometer, can predict the fatigue crack growth rate measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) equipped with automated optical crack tracking.
