If you are interested in elastomers and electric vehicles, check out this link to RIEG webinar on Elastomer use in Electric Vehicles. There were 4 talks covering elastomer requirements for EVs, mounting system design for EVs, use of carbon black in EV applications, and EV mount integrity digital twin. Enjoy!

Many people puzzle over the nomenclature of the pure shear test. They rightly point out that 1) the Pure Shear test piece is loaded in tension by extending the specimen in the axial direction, and 2) a shearing deformation, by definition, involves the lateral motion of parallel planes. They wonder where is the "shear"? and what does it mean to say that the shear is "pure"? Here, we review the origins of the terminology.
Elastomers are 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. This 2-day course provides the know-how for engineering durable elastomeric components and systems. The course is taught at Axel Products, and includes live demos of typical behavior.
