FFTT cuts testing time from several weeks down to a few hours.
Fatigue characterization with traditional methods is time-consuming
and slows R&D down. FFTT does NOT.
Standard testing protocols require hundreds of hours and dozens of specimens to derive a Wöhler (S‑N) curve and obtain the fatigue limit. FFTT drastically reduces both the number of specimens and the test duration, while delivering data reliability equal to or better than traditional protocols.
25 specimens (5 load levels x 5 specimens)
500+ hours
~1 month
Slows innovation and delays time-to-market
Wöhler curve and fatigue limit in <48 hours
Built on:
- • Thermographic (IR) sensors
- • Digital Image Correlation
- • Proprietary algorithms for data analysis
From 500+ hours to <48 hours
Where traditional methods take weeks, FFTT delivers the Wöhler (S‑N) curve and the fatigue limit in under 48 hours
An integrated technology
FFTT combines thermographic (IR) sensors, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and proprietary algorithms for data analysis in a single process.
Technology grounded in energy methods, the result of over 35 years of scientific research
The technology is based on the Risitano Thermographic Method and the Static Thermographic Method, documented in numerous peer-reviewed publications.
