1. A method for analyzing fatigue life of an elastomeric component, the method comprising the steps of: conducting a finite element analysis to obtain a base state of the elastomeric component; selecting a plurality of case vectors to represent a space of possible loading states that occur within the time-varying load data signal; and for at least a portion of the case vectors, conducting a finite element analysis at a plurality of discrete gridpoints along the case vectors starting at the base state and tracking the case vectors.
