Automating Fatigue Crack Growth Testing: The Coesfeld Tear and Fatigue Analyser 

We are honored to have Christian Kipscholl, President of Coesfeld GmbH join us for a demonstration of the Coesfeld Tear & Fatigue Analyser (TFA). See the TFA's capabilities for production fatigue crack growth measurements, including the automated high-resolution camera for accurately tracking crack growth and options for testing multiple specimens simultaneously. We will be highlighting Coesfeld’s implementation of Endurica’s Fully Relaxing Strain Ramping Procedure. Learn how Endurica’s ‘finite scoping’ procedure puts crack growth testing on a schedule that you control, and produces measurements with 50% less noise than alternative methods. 

Endurica is the sole distributor of Coesfeld instruments in the Americas. Coesfeld develops, manufactures, and maintains equipment for determining physical material and component properties for various materials, such as thermoplastics, elastomers, fuels and lubricants.
