 ABSTRACT

• Fatigue failure is the cause due to cyclic

loading. These types of failure occurs mainly
in systems operated by motor, Continuous
force and moment but varying magnitude. The
presentation shows that fatigue faliure of
composite materials by giving flexural load .
 OBJECTIVE
• The aim of this project work is to design a
fatigue testing machine for flexural loading
with simple operating technic and low cost of
testing
 COMPONENTS
 Motor.
 Pulley.
 Shafts.
 Bearings.
 Base part.
 Holder.
 Connecting rod.
 Disc.
 T-nut and bolts.
BASE:
HOLDER:
BEARING:
MOTOR:
PULLEY:
T NUT AND BOLT:
Working :
Intially the specimen is used fixed with setup with
the help of holder . The holder is used to silde on the base with
the help of the T-nut and bolts. The holder movement is in the
complete control of T-nut and blot.
The motor is used to give the initial output of 1275
RPM. The first pulley reduce the rpm to 182 RPM. The second
pulley again reduces the speed in 79.3 RPM. Therefore the
final getting output is 79.3 RPM.
 The specimen is applied to the flexural load at a cycle of
79.3 RPM.The load is applied by the principle of connecting
rod mechanism. The power to connecting rod is given from the
disc. The connecting rod is connect the disc and the work
piece. The rotating motion of the disc is converted into the
reciprocating motion to the speccimen and flexural load is
apllied to the specimen.
3D MODELING:
CONCLUSION:
• The setup is cheap, efficient and does not
requires a lot of space like the conventional
fatigue testing machines available in the
market. Development of the component made
up of the composite material. Hence the many
composite materials samples can be tested for
bending fatigue testing with the help of this
setup.
APPLICATION:
• It is used to test the strength of various FRP
laminates for marine use.
• It is used test the performance of composites
used in wind turbine and etc,.
• These types of machine will helps the
engineers to study the behaviour of the
component made of composite materials
ADVANTAGES:
• Lost cost and more efficient.
• It can be operated without skilled labour .
• More comfortable one.
• It required less space area.
• Simple design.
