For more than 40 years, MTS has worked closely with fatigue testing professionals around the world. This collaboration has given us an in-depth understanding of your needs and requirements, as we continually strive to introduce new technologies that let you operate with greater speed and precision.

The latest such introduction includes productivity-enhancing fatigue testing modules for MTS TestSuite™ Multipurpose Elite Software.

Packages include all-inclusive modules for low-cycle, high-cycle, advanced low-cycle and thermomechanical fatigue testing, along with a feature-rich Fatigue Analyzer that allows you to glean new levels of insight from your post-test data.

Best of all, the Virtual Specimen feature included in all MTS TestSuite fatigue and fracture testing modules allows you to see how your test article will perform in a test without actually having to break a specimen. The modules include Virtual Specimens for standard specimen geometries and tests. You define the parameters for stiffness, degradation, yield load and ultimate load that determine the behavior of the Virtual Specimen.

Then, you conduct a virtual test to receive physically meaningful feedback of specimen behavior without damaging a real specimen. Ideal for demonstrations, training and test design verification.
