fatigue testing

Fast design comparison & optimization

Design features can be tested on Fatigue, enabling fast design comparison.

Characterize material durability

Different design concepts can be tested in a short time to choose the most resilient concept.

Modelling material behavior

fatigue resistance of Different materials can be compared in a matter of days.

“The short testing times of XCTE enables us to make fast design choices where normally expensive simulations were done.”

Model dynamic response

Design features can be tested on fatigue, enabling fast comparison.

Determine system controllability

Different design concepts can be tested in a short time to choose the most resilient concept.

Modelling material behavior

By reducing fatigue testing time, fast design iterations can be done to optimize the structure.

“By reducing testing times, composite structures can now be optimized in terms of weight, truly unlocking full material potential.”
