© 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK. In this paper a novel approach for modelling failure under a combination of cyclic and static loading is presented. The cyclic fatigue and steady state tearing performance of two non-strain crystallising elastomers, NBR and EPDM, are initially characterised. A simplified component was then tested to failure using a combined cyclic/steady-state loading regime and its service life is compared against predictions from the developed analytical model.
