Material fatigue is a critical concern in engineering, with over 90% of failures caused by fatigue stress rather than overloading. As industries push material limits, efficient fatigue testing becomes vital. Rotating beam fatigue testing, dating back to the mid-1800s, provides a cost-effective way for researchers to evaluate material endurance while saving time and money.

There is a distinction between force measurement and material testing and your choice can be simplified by knowing what kind of information you need to collect.

One of the most fundamental decisions in mechanical design is selecting which material a part should be produced from. Often, a variety of factors will influence the success of a part.

Deciding whether to purchase a force tester for basic testing or a material tester for advance testing could be a challenge based on the multitude of options and functions which are available today to meet your test requirements. 

Products and packaging undergo continual revision and improvement, with most companies constantly striving to use less material, simplify their manufacturing processes, and make their products more user friendly.

The push for increased fuel efficiencies has pushed the aerospace industry to develop stronger and lighter materials while simultaneously increasing component longevity. In turn, these new designs, materials, and processes require verification.

When material surfaces are in mechanical contact and slide against each other, complex microscopic interactions occur between the surfaces that lead to friction and wear.
