A method for predicting the endurance life of the elastomeric bearings on the UTTAS helicopter rotor is presented. The critical layers, based on elastomer strain, are determined analytically for these two bearings. Representative standard laboratory test specimens, bonded with the specified elastomers are subjected to the same static and typical dynamic strains, and tested to failure. Two resulting S-N curves are reported, one for each of the two rotor elastomeric bearings. A short verification of Miner's cumulative damage theory is also conducted and reported. (DePo)
