o-ring fatigue
o-ring fatigue
(OP)
I have a situation in which an o-ring is subjected to pressure variations. In time, the o-ring can fail which results in a leak. A previous thread on this website discussed some of the problems with applying S/N techniques to rubber. My question is are there some references available that explain how to characterize elastomer type components under cyclic loading?
Any help is appreciated.

This book gives an excellent overview on fatigue of rubber components etc.
