Fatigue is one of the primary causes of mechanical component failure. Being able to correctly identify and predict such phenomena during the design phase can provide a significant advantage, especially since fatigue issues may arise after a certain period when a product is already in operation!

The team of engineers at Astra Research has gained extensive experience in dealing with fatigue phenomena, considering both high cycle fatigue (HCF) and low cycle fatigue (LCF), caused by mechanical and thermomechanical phenomena.

Over the years, we have developed a series of methodologies and fatigue analysis tests to accurately predict the fatigue of components, whether due to mechanical, thermal, or vibrational fatigue. These methodologies have demonstrated their excellent validity in comparison with real cases of failures.

The proactive use of our methodologies and fatigue analysis services in the design phase allows for significant advantages. It provides the opportunity to address potential critical areas to increase the working life of components.
