Abstract

The article describes the results of fatigue tests with sideflexing polymer chains conducted on a dynamic testing machine and in testing conveyors. A new approach is suggested, that allows a calculatory estimation of the fatigue life of these chains. Finally, a calculation-software is presented, that has been developed based on the test results and the new equations.
