CTE has built up a significant fatigue testing capability over the years and now has:-

• 5 x Instron 8801 100kN Servo Hydraulic Fatigue Machines
• An Instron 8802 250kN Over Head Actuator with lowered T-Slot Bed Servo Hydraulic Fatigue Machine
• An Instron 8872 25kN Over Head Actuator with lowered T-Slot Bed Servo Hydraulic Fatigue Machine
• 5 Instron Dynamic Extensometers for Strain Controlled Testing
• All fatigue machines have adaptive temperature based frequency control that allow us to vary the speed whilst maintaining the specimen temperature to prevent overheating of the specimens
• The Fatigue Machines are supplied by 2 Instron Power Packs to a fitted ring main with a max flow rate of ~180lpm
• We are continuously adding to this capability

Fatigue Testing

• CTE can generate full S-N Curves including curve fitting and B-Basis curve determination on a full range of R Ratios
• CTE can perform standard fatigue coupon testing or bespoke component/structural element fatigue testing
• CTE can design and manufacture bespoke fixturing for fatigue testing
• CTE performs fatigue testing on a full range of non-metallic and metallic materials
