Abstract A fatigue testing system is established with which the real-time recording of stress, strain, temperature, and hysteresis loss of rubbers or cord-rubber composite specimens subjected to periodic loading or extension can be successfully carried out. Several problems are connected with the experimental study of the fatigue of rubber composites. In constant extension cycling, the specimen becomes relaxed because of the viscoelasticity of rubber composites, and the imposed tension-tension deformation becomes complex. In this method, the specimen is unlikely to fail unless the imposed extensions are very large. Constant load cycling can avoid the shortcomings of constant extension cycling. The specially designed clamps ensure that the specimen does not slip when the load retains a constant value. The Deformation and fatigue damage accumulation processes of rubber composites under periodic loading are also examined. Obviously, the effect of cycle frequency on the fatigue life of rubber composites can not be ignored because of the viscoelasticity of constituent materials. The increase of specimen surface temperature is relatively small in the case of 1 Hz, but the temperature can easily reach 100°C at the 8 Hz frequency. A method for evaluating the fatigue behavior of tires is proposed.

This study aims at experimentally revealing the effects of damages/fractures in HAp coating layer of acetabular cups on loosening behavior of the acetabular cups. Aseptic loosening is occurred due to degradation of fixing force of acetabular cups by biological effects or mechanical loading. However, effects of mechanical loading on loosening behaviour have not been observed yet. In order to simulate cyclic loading conditions of gaits, a testing system which can load entire components of joint including acetabular cups and stem parts was designed. Moreover, by applying two positions of AE sensors during fatigue testing, it was possible to observe the damage behavior of HAp coating. AE measurement detected different failure modes of HAp coating, which were locally occurred at an edge part of the acetabular cup due to stress singularity at that region. In the cases of changing fixation angles, even though damages in simulated cancellous bone surrounding acetabular cups were less occurred, extents of rotational displacements were compatible with the one in an original fixation angle.
