Background:

  • In situ experiments in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) require precise control over mechanical loading conditions.
  • Traditional methods for in situ fatigue testing can be limited in reproducibility and operator control.
  • Microstructural evolution during fatigue is best studied under controlled cyclic loading conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computer-controlled procedure for in situ fatigue experiments within a TEM.
  • To enable precise sine-wave tension-tension cyclic loading of microfatigue specimens.
  • To improve operator control and test reproducibility in electron microscopy-based fatigue studies.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a computer-control procedure for in situ fatigue experiments.
