The diploma thesis deals with computational modelling of stress-strain states in elastomeric components of a flexible coupling. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to research about usage and designs of flexible coupling and about fatigue of elastomers. The second part of the thesis concerns creation of the computational model. The model of material is determined based on uniaxial tension test of a specimen produced from a real elastomer component. The results are presented in the form of comparison of two designs of elastomer component with respect to fatigue behaviour based on a maximum principal strain range. The results of computational modelling in the viewpoint of crack initiation site are in good agreement with the results from the component used in operation and dif-ferences between the two designs are negligible. The quantitative difference of the two designs is 15 %.
