Endurance and mechanical fatigue tests

Validate the resistance and durability of your equipment

Why carry out endurance and fatigue tests?

Industrial and technological equipment is subjected to repeated mechanical stress throughout its life cycle. These tests are essential for :

Validate the resistance of products to repeated mechanical stresses encountered in actual conditions of use or transport.
Identify potential mechanical weaknesses before the product is put on the market.
Comply with standards and technical specifications specific to each sector of activity.
Optimise product life and reliability by simulating severe mechanical environments.

Types of endurance and fatigue tests

Our laboratories are equipped to carry out various types of tests:

Static tests up to failure: Tests on structures of all sizes with forces of up to 500,000 N.
Manoeuvring endurance tests: Deformation, tension, compression, bending and repetitive stress tests.
Fatigue testing: Simulation of cyclic stresses up to several million cycles.
Multi-physics testing: Integration of mechanical, thermal and electrical stresses.

What sectors are involved in these trials?

Automotive

Validation of mechanical components subjected to road stress.

Aerospace
