The new TA Instruments MSF16 Multi-Specimen Fatigue Instrument extends the capability of accelerated cyclic testing by loading 16 specimens simultaneously, rapidly delivering insights into the ...

Although there has been some interest in reversed flexural fatigue testing of composites for many years, there is at the present time no ASTM standard for such testing. However, there is a relatively ...

Fatigue testing may be performed at multiple points during the design of a composite structure. A focus on small-specimen level fatigue test methods, however, suggests a need for continued test method ...

Composites fatigue test practitioners regularly observe in excess of 20 °C or 30 °C temperature rise on more highly loaded specimens (at the ISO/ASTM recommended 3 Hz to 5 Hz). Meanwhile specimens ...

TA Instrument’s Multi-Specimen Fatigue Instruments are designed to accelerate fatigue studies for a variety of materials, subcomponents and complete devices. With the capability of simultaneously ...

Automation helps to increase throughput, minimize the risk of human error, and improve safety by limiting the need to ...

Mechanical testing of a vascular stent comprises testing the device specimens in several failure modes. These include bending, tensile, torsion, abrasion, crushing, and fatigue. Image Credit ...

Since 1983, more than 10 specific Symposia have taken place, mainly organized by ASTM, but no harmonization of small specimens test techniques has been accomplished so far.The nuclear industry, and in ...

Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today introduced the new TA Instruments™ MSF16 Multi-Specimen Fatigue Instrument. The MSF16 extends the capability of accelerated cyclic testing by loading 16 ...
