Proposing design option for horizontal axial tensile-compression fatigue testing machine for carbon steel

Abstract

Fatigue strength is one of the important mechanical properties in designing and manufacturing machine parts and machine clusters. The implementation of design and manufacture of experimental machine to help students and students access knowledge intuitively and vividly and reduce investment costs in the machine of the University is essential. This article presents a design option for horizontal axial tensile-compression fatigue testing machine for carbon steel with compact structure, ease of assembly, low cost, and accuracy when put into fabrication. The main operating principle of the device is based on the slider-crank mechanism, and the design is done in Solid works software.
