Low Cycle Fatigue Testing Services
Leave a CommentMetal components of a machine can fail when subjected to loads generating stresses well below the ultimate strength of the material; even below the yield strength. The mechanism for this phenomenon is the application of the load a very large number of times. Hence, such a failure is called a fatigue failure. The design of […]
SPIN IV – Vibration Spectral Content Option
Leave a CommentSpin IV, BSi’s powerful test control software package, has been supplemented with a module to monitor, display, and record the spectral content of analog data channels. Spectral content is typically of interest for vibration signals from accelerometers, velocimeters, and non-contact proximity sensors. The TC-4 has already offered an option to add up to 32 analog […]
Barbour Stockwell Crack Detect – CD1
Leave a CommentA Research and Development program or the Qualification of a new rotor design often incorporates Low Cycle Fatigue testing as part of the process. These LCF tests involve cycling the test rotor between two or more speeds many thousands of times; frequently at temperatures to match the in-service environment. During such testing, the ability to […]
