Development of a Delamination Fatigue Testing Machine for Composite Materials

Experimental studies on fatigue behavior are usually conducted on servo-hydraulic testing machines that are expensive and have high maintenance costs. In this work, a much simpler testing machine was developed, intended mainly for delamination fatigue tests on composite materials. After a literature...
