ARDL provides flex fatigue on a wide range of materials using multiple methods. The fatigue tests can be performed using flexural testing such as DeMattia Flexometer, Goodrich Flexometer, Monsanto Flexometer and Ross Flexometer. These flex apparatus help in measuring properties from initial tear resistance to heat generation and flexing fatigue in compression. After discussing the number of cycles and the failure criteria our experts can help you choose the right fatigue test to meet your quality control for material performance needs.
