Standardization of Low Cycle Fatigue Tests using Miniature Specimen for Resins

Abstract

Establishment of fatigue testing standard for resin materials is discussed in this study, since no suitable standardization of low cycle fatigue tests for the materials has been proposed. Uniaxial fatigue tests were conducted to clarify the effect of various factors such as loading on fatigue strength of resin materials. Measurement of strain using a extensometer was also discussed.
