2. Fatigue testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_testing

   Fatigue testing is a specialised form of mechanical testing that is performed by applying cyclic loading to a coupon or structure. These tests are used either to generate fatigue life and crack growth data, identify critical locations or demonstrate the safety of a structure that may be susceptible to fatigue.

3. Fatigue (material) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)

   Micrographs showing how surface fatigue cracks grow as material is further cycled. From Ewing & Humfrey, 1903. 1837: Wilhelm Albert publishes the first article on fatigue. He devised a test machine for conveyor chains used in the Clausthal mines. [11] 1839: Jean-Victor Poncelet describes metals as being 'tired' in his lectures at the military ...

4. Basquin's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basquin's_law

   It is usually performed using a standard fatigue testing machine where the test specimen is prepared in a specifically defined manner and then subjected to loads until failure takes place. Throughout the test, computer software is used to record various necessary parameters such as the number of cycles experienced and the exact point of failure.

5. Universal testing machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_testing_machine

   Typical lectromechanical Universal Testing Machine Test fixture for three point flex test. A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, [1] universal tensile machine, materials testing machine, materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength (pulling) and compressive strength (pushing), flexural strength, bending, shear, hardness, and torsion testing ...

6. Notch (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notch_(engineering)

   Charpy test sample with a notch. In mechanical engineering and materials science, a notch refers to a V-shaped, U-shaped, or semi-circular defect deliberately introduced into a planar material. In structural components, a notch causes a stress concentration which can result in the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks.

7. Stress testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_testing

   Fatigue tests on coupons are typically conducted using servo hydraulic test machines which are capable of applying large variable amplitude cyclic loads. [4] Constant amplitude testing can also be applied by simpler oscillating machines. The fatigue life of a coupon is the number of cycles it takes to break the coupon. This data can be used for ...
