Fatigue Life Prediction

Fundamentals of Fatigue Life Prediction

Interface load cells accurately quantify the forces applied during fatigue testing for predicting failure. Fatigue refers to the weakening of material caused by repeatedly applied loads. Failure occurs after a certain number of cycles, even when the stresses are well below the material's ultimate tensile strength. While an accurate prediction of fatigue life is not a reality, theoretical analysis and empirical data allow for useful approximations to estimate the margin of safety for a given design.
