The fatigue test is important for nearly all materials testers as performance in this test provide important information on the material’s long-term durability for a specific application. Different data from the material can be extracted from these tests, such as fatigue strength, crack resistance, and overall durability. Fatigue life, or is the number of cycles a material can be exposed to before breaking, is also obtained using the fatigue test. Aside from the number of cycles, the amount of force that the object can withstand is also recorded. In contrast to bend tests and compression/tension tests, the object is subjected to fluctuating forces rather than a singular application of force.
