Compact micro flexural fatigue testing machine

Abstract

The flexural test is a method in measuring the behaviour of the materials subjected to a simple beam loading. Maximum stress and maximum strain are calculated for increments of load. Results from the test are plotted in a stress-strain and stresscycle diagram. These results could help in determining the maximum loading of that material could hold and also their cycle before reaching the fatigue failure. These results also could be applied for industrial and construction site.
