Fatigue Test LOAY
Specimen Details:
Material: Steel.
Bar Diameter: 8mm
Total bar length: 146mm
Fillet radii: R2 and R0.5
Surface Finish Quality of the radii: Rz4.0,Rz25,
Clamping pin: Dia.12X40mm
Fatigue Test Apparatus:
Procedure:
1. The Standard specimen is used according the dimensional requirement.
2. The specimen is introduced into the specimen holder and it is hold on the clamping
pin of the specimen in the fatigue testing machine.
3. Required force is given by load application device by means of spring balance and a
movable support.
4. Rotating cylindrical specimen is subjected to single force which is kept in a
cantilever position.
5. Specimen is subjected to pure reverse bending stress.
6. After certain number of load cycles, specimen brakes due to material fatigue.
