The Importance of Fatigue Testing

Fatigue testing is an essential step in ensuring that turbine blades can withstand the extreme stresses and strains associated with high-speed flight. Repeated exposure to turbulent air flows, vibrations, and thermal fluctuations can cause metal fatigue, leading to cracks, failures, and catastrophic engine malfunctions. By simulating these conditions in a controlled laboratory environment, we can accurately predict how a turbine blade will perform under real-world conditions.
