Abstract The experimental analysis of thermoluminescence (TL) activation energy, E, and frequency factor, S, by changing heating rate was applied to the investigations of fatigue and fatigue resistance performances of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) tyre cords and tyre rubber. The TL frequency factor, S, was found to be very sensitive to the process of the fatigue of the PET cords and rubber sheet. A strong correlation between TL frequency factor and fatigue process was found which is expected to be applied as a new approach to the studies of fatigue in polymers.
