Results for tag: "Fatigue Testing"

Fatigue testing is a type of civil engineering testing used to evaluate the durability of materials and structures. It is used to determine the fatigue life of a material or structure, which is the number of cycles of stress it can withstand before failure. Fatigue testing is typically conducted using a cyclic loading system, which applies a series of increasing and decreasing loads to the material or structure. The test results are then used to determine the fatigue strength of the material or structure, as well as its fatigue life. Fatigue testing is an important part of civil engineering, as it helps to ensure the safety and reliability of structures and materials used in construction. It is also used to evaluate the performance of materials and structures in extreme conditions, such as those encountered in transportation and aerospace applications. Some companies in the fatigue testing market include Element Materials Technology, Intertek, SGS, and Exova. Show Less Read more
