Projects
FATIGUE TEST DEVELOPMENT
Utilized a tensile test as a preliminary step in developing a fatigue test for the polymer. By analyzing the results of the tensile test, I determined specific parameters necessary to replicate the fatigue test accurately, enabling the evaluation of the polymer's lifespan under cyclic loading conditions. Wind Test development, Replicated a wind application scenario to study its impact on a polymer bearing, meticulously analyzing observed behaviors. Through this investigation, conclusions were drawn regarding both the bearing's lifespan and its suitability for the intended application.
