2. PROBEM DEFINITION
Weakening of a material is the progressive and
localised structural damage that occurs when a
material is subjected to cyclic loading. If the loads are
above a certain threshold, microscopic cracks will
begin, eventually crack will reach a critical size, the
crack will propagate suddenly, and the structure will
fracture
To calculate the fatigue strength of the materials,
high cycle fatigue machines are available.
3. PROBEM DEFINITION
High cycle fatigue strength (about 104
to 108
cycles) can
be calculated by the machine, such as load-controlled
servo-hydraulic test rig is commonly used in these
tests, with frequencies of around 20–50 Hz. Other sorts
of machines—like resonant magnetic machines—can
also be used, to achieve frequencies up to 250 Hz.
4. The current fatigue testing machines are universal in
nature. These machines are designed to test all the
factors responsible for fatigue in a component. These
machines are capable of testing fatigue strength for
different types of components and materials. Hence
these machines are extremely large, very expensive
and require highly skilled labour to operate.
Ex: Servo hydraulic test system
PROBEM DEFINITION
6. The prototype that is being designed is for a
specific specimen, mainly sheet metals. This
machine can be used to determine the minimum
requirements for a component to pass a fatigue
test.
This prototype is less expensive and easy to
operate and are more useful in small scale
industries which do not require high end
specifications.

9. SPECIMENS USED
Aluminium Sheet Metal
Aluminium is also a popular metal used in sheet metal
due to its flexibility wide range of options, cost
effectiveness, and other properties
Common applications include electronic chassis,
tanks, and pressure vessels. It is used in modern aircraft
structure.
10. SPECIMENS USED
Brass Sheet Metal
Brass can also withstand very high temperatures, and
has excellent conductivity, making them ideal materials
for conveying hot water in a residential or commercial
space.
Moreover, brass is surprisingly flexible and highly
moldable compared to other metals.
11. SPECIMENS USED
Copper Sheet Metal
Copper alloys become stronger and more ductile as
temperature goes down.
They also retain excellent impact resistance to 20 K.
12. METHODOLOGY
Metal cutting
Metal cutting processes work by causing fracture of
the material that is processed. Usually, the portion
that is fractured away is in small sized pieces, called
chips. Common cutting processes include sawing,
shaping (or planning).
13. METHODOLOGY
Welding
Joining process is done with the help of welding
(SMAW). SMAW is briefly explained below:
In the shielded metal arc welding process (SMAW)
the 'stick' electrode is covered with an extruded
coating of flux.
14. METHODOLOGY
Drilling
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to
cut or enlarge a hole of circular cross-section in solid
materials.
Common drill bit materials include hardened steel
(High Speed Steel, Titanium Nitride coated steel); for
cutting harder materials, drills with hard inserts, e.g.
carbide or CBN inserts, are used.
15. METHODOLOGY
Assembly
An assembly line is a manufacturing process (most of
the time called a progressive assembly) in which
parts (usually interchangeable parts) are added as
the semi-finished assembly moves from work station
to work station where the parts are added in
sequence until the final assembly is produced.

35. Speed Reduction Ratio
It is the ratio of the product of diameter and
speed of the one shaft to the product of diameter and
speed of the another shaft which is to be connected
each other. Its value must be unity.
To calculate the speed reduction ratio
diameter of each shaft/pulley and the speed of any
one shaft/pulley is required.
i.e Speed Reduction Ratio is calculated by
N1D1=N2D2

38. Using Load Cell
One can calculate the load acting by keeping the
load cell below the hammer when the hammer is in
working. Load cell measures the load acting on it
and gives the convenient values.
This method gives very accurate value.
This is less time consuming process.

is 12N
