materials under dynamic/fatigue loading is the “S-N”diagram. Here, “S” corresponds to the stress level and “N” to the number of cycles. Due to theuncertainties involved in materials’ behavior and characteristics, a large number of specimensare tested at different stress levels for generating the “S - log N” diagram. Ideally, the mainobjective in such tests is two-fold. First, to establish (for a given material), up to what stresslevels the material will enjoy an infinite life (Endurance Limit); and second, to correlate thenumber of cycles at different stress levels that a material will be able to go through beforecoming to failure. The range of cost for a typical educational fatigue testing apparatus is from$10,500 to $32,500. These units are

However, a second photo interrupter couldbe added if direction is needed in the future.Motor DriverSince the voltage and current required for the motor are too high to be directly sourced by theRaspberry Pi, an additional power supply and H-bridge were used to drive the motor. A variableDC power supply that has 1.5V increments from 3V to 12V was selected. However, 4 AAbatteries could also be used.

The flume was constructed by anundergraduate and at a cost lower than commonly available commercial units. Both thefabrication process and the potential experiments that the flume could house are designed toimprove student learning in the area of fluid mechanics.
