The MENG 302 Lab for Mechanics of Materials would greatly benefit from a fatigue test device to teach a lab exercise with this type of material failure, however, test devices currently on the market cost in the range of $20,000. This design team is building a similar device from scratch to test fatigue failure of samples under cyclical loading at a fraction of market cost.
