Elastomers and Components: Service Life Prediction; Progress and Challenges

This multi-author book is the first in a new series from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3) Rubber in Engineering Committee. It presents the basic principles underlying the service life prediction of elastomers in engineering applications and includes a number of case studies. The book aims to redress the balance in the area of life prediction and to inform the reader on the benefits and limitations of established and emerging approaches.
