Popis: This paper describes an experimental system developed to conduct thermal mechanical fatigue (TMF) and biaxial fatigue testing of materials. As such the biaxial mechanical loadings may be either pure torsion or combined axial-torsion using thin-wall tubular-type specimens. Additionally, the system is capable of conducting uniaxial TMF, and isothermal uniaxial and biaxial fatigue testing as well. Currently only a small number of researchers [1] besides the authors are known to be pursuing the experimental testing area of combined thermal and biaxial mechanical fatigue testing and analysis of materials. TMF testing and analysis of materials has been an ongoing research area for over twenty years, however, in all of these previous known cases the mechanical loadings have been the uniaxial.
