Thoroughly versed in metal fatigue analysis, our expert engineers have developed proven techniques that correlate finite element calculations with fatigue testing. Both strain-based and stress-based approaches are used depending upon whether a low- or high-cycle application is being tested, and whether the applied strains have a significant plastic component.
