DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SIMPLY SUPPORTED IMPACT FATIGUE LIFE TESTING MACHINE

The aim of this work is to design and fabrication of simply supported impact fatigue life testing machine. In industries, many engineering machines and mechanical components are subjected to stresses, taking place at relatively high frequencies and under these conditions failure is bound to occur . And this led to the invention of a impact fatigue life testing machine. In view of effective design that will not fail accidentally, this research is conceived. This testing machine will determine the life of materials under the action of impact load. Specimens are subjected to impact loading of specific magnitude while the cycles are counted to destruction and results have been estimated.
