The equipment is used for the characterization of deformation processes of metallic materials under very high cycle fatigue loading and extreme environments. The frame is a Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) testing machine designed to test specimen at 20 kHz inside scanning electron microscopes or synchrotron-based equipment. It allows mechanical characterization of materials up to 109 or 1010 cycles in the gigacycle regime. The frame can be used in fully-reversed mode or for non-zero mean stress testing at cryogenic, room, and high temperatures.
