Fatigue testing machines are generally designed to identify the danger point or location of failure of a test piece of material that has been subjected to a series of stresses. This measures the durability or lifespan of a material or component, as well as the maximum load that it can withstand. After a sample is loaded into the fatigue tester, it is stressed until either a pre-determined number of cycles is reached or the material experiences failure. These tests can be performed with either constant amplitude or using servo hydraulic test machines.
