INTRODUCTION
Now a days each and every machine has continuous
fluctuation load.
Due to this the materials will be broken at a particular
period of time.
This test is used to determine the point at which the material
will fail.
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
1) In industries there is a need to determinethe
point of fracture of materials i.e. the material may
shear off
or cracks will cause fracture in the material.
2) Nowadays we have fatigue load testingmachine
where we can test specimens of fixed diameters.
FATIGUE
Fatigue is the phenomenon associated with variable loading
or more precisely to cyclic stressing or straining of a
material. Just as we human beings get fatigue when a specific
task is repeatedly performed. In a similar way metallic
components subjected to variable loading get fatigue which
leads to their premature failure under specific conditions.
FATIGUE LOADING
Fatigue loading is primarily the type of loading
which causes cyclic variation in the applied stress or
strain on a component. Thus any variable loading is
basically a fatigue loading.

COMPONENTS PURCHASED
METHODOLOGY
When the motor is operated the power is transmitted to the
small pulley.This rotates the larger pulley which is connected
with the v- belt. The larger pulley rotates the shaft. The shaft is
connected to the disc which has holes in it of different
diameters.The workpiece is clamped with wise which is
supported at the base. Another end of the workpiece is
connected to the main shaft and the holder. This end is
connected to the disc. The rotary motion of the shaft rotates the
disc which causes linear reciprocation of the main shaft and the
workpiece as in the case of cantilever beam.

BEARING
Bearing type – ball bearing(single row
angular contact) Materials –chrome steel
Bearing number 20BA03-04B (from
data book)–
CONSTRUCTION
We construct our base with the help of ’L’ type angle
through bolt and nut arrangement. Then motor is placed in
the bottom of the base arrangement after the motor shaft
will be connected through the smaller ‘V’ grooved pulley.
This smaller pulley is connected to the larger pulley by the
‘V’help
belt of
drive. In this the larger pulley is coupled
with the solid shaft. The solid shaft is attached to the crank
disc at the other end then the solid shaft is coupled to the
double ball bearing.
Then the connecting rod is connected to the crank disc with
the help of bolt and nut arrangement. This crank disc is
directly coupled with the main solid shaft with the help of arc
welding joint. Then the connecting rod end has a work
clamping arrangement. By using this clamping arrangement
the specimen material is directly coupled. Then the work
holding device is attached to the base. By using this crank and
connecting rod
arrangement the rotary motion is converted into linear or
reciprocating motion.

ADVANTAGES
Simple in construction
No fire hazard problem due to over loading Quick
response achieved
Continuous operation is possible Easy to maintain and
repair
CONCLUSION
Our project is very useful to detect the point of failure of
various kinds of materials.
So we can know the failure point of various types of
materials by using this testing machine
