Sheet Metal Fatigue Fixture
Sheet Metal Fatigue Fixture
Sheet metal is used in a variety of applications, and sheet metal materials can have unique mechanical properties that are not always well-known by designers. The objective of this project is to design and build a tabletop fixture for measuring the long-term durability of sheet metal components when exposed to repeated loading.
