Dynamic / fatigue testing

Dynamic, uniaxial tests on test specimens made of metallic, polymeric and ceramic materials as well as on assemblies and medical devices to determine fatigue strength (Wöhler curve). The tests can be carried out both at room temperature and in a temperature-controlled water bath at 37°C. You can also get a good impression of our dynamic testing machines in the case study on the ZwickRoell homepage.

The samples can also be tested for fretting corrosion or the release of particles under dynamic load.

Where should the force be applied to my test part, what is the connection to the testing machine?

We determine this individually for each test application, e.g. according to the indication for medical devices or according to a standard.
Contact us, we will be happy to advise you!

Which products can be tested?

We test all products. Contact us and we will be happy to discuss your individual requirements.

Can other properties be tested in addition to the mechanical load?

Yes, some examples are

Optical tracking of deformation using a point tracking system
Investigation of the corrosion behavior
Investigation of the release of particles

Are the analyses accredited?

RMS is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited analysis laboratory (accreditation type C). Many of the analyses are already validated. New or customer-specific analysis methods can be validated and accredited by us.
