The paper presents a mathematical model of the non-localized fatigue damage accumulation process in rubberlike materials. A relation for the determination of the constants of the corresponding equation with allowance for known fatigue curve characteristics, in particular for their random spread, is proposed. Computational relationships for the determination of the probabilistic characteristics of damage have been derived. Experimental data for the determination of realization of the fatigue accumulation process in rubber specimens, which are in good agreement with theoretical results, are considered.
