Multiaxial experimental facilities

  • Chapter
Fatigue Damage, Crack Growth and Life Prediction

Abstract

In this chapter we will describe the development of a multiaxial testing facility. The equipment was designed to supply basic fatigue data and to permit a comparison with the proposed theories. However, before embarking on the detailed description of the test facility, it is appropriate to provide a background to various test methods and their limitations.
