Examples of fatigue failure

To compensate for their handicaps in terms of properties compared to the traditional materials, polymers have effective weapons  

Obtaining information on prices is difficult and costs are continually fluctuating. The figures in the following tables and graphs are only orders of magnitude used simply to give some idea of the costs. They cannot be retained for final choices of solutions or estimated calculations of cost price. 

Usually, the material costs are considered versus weight but it is also interesting to examine

A good example of fatigue failure is breaking a thin steel rod or wire with your hands after bending it back and forth several times in the same place. Another example is an unbalanced pump impeller resulting in vibrations that can cause fatigue failure.
