Urethane Fatigue Considerations

Urethane Fatigue Considerations Fatigue is an important consideration in the design of parts for cyclic dynamic applications. Fatigue and cut growth resulting from cyclic stress-strain are related. When testing for fatigue resistance for a specific application, it’s...

Polyurethane’s Load-Bearing Capacity

Polyurethanes have an unusually high load-bearing capacity, and exhibit deflection and recovery capabilities that far exceed plastics or metals. Internally, polyurethanes have an elastic component that stores and returns energy, and a viscous component that captures...
