Fatigue testing

Fatigue testing is a method used to assess how materials and components can withstand repeated stress and strain over time. In simpler terms, it involves repeatedly applying force to an object until it fails, simulating real-life conditions where fatigue might occur, like the bending of a metal beam in a bridge. This testing helps engineers determine a material's durability and lifespan, ensuring safety and reliability in products like vehicles, machinery, and structures. By understanding how materials behave under stress, engineers can design safer, longer-lasting structures and devices.
