Abstract
Rubbers are nowadays widely used in many structural systems, and more particularly in transportation applications, hence, their reliability must be checked especially when they are subjected to cyclic loadings. This paper aims to discuss the state of the art of rubbers multiaxial fatigue criteria. The capability of the continuum damage mechanics based model to estimate the elastomers fatigue life under multiaxial loading is checked using a set of constant amplitude multiaxial fatigue tests conducted on a carbon-black filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Furthermore, for variable amplitude tests, the predictive capability of damage rules is achieved.
