CC Technologies has laboratory facilities for fatigue and fracture testing utilizing standard ASTM methods or specially designed procedures, as well as apparatus for specific applications not covered by standard methodologies.

CC Technologies also has experience and expertise analyzing fatigue failures of materials and components and in predicting the fatigue performance of structures and mechanical equipment.

In addition to the more standard fatigue and fracture analyses, CC Technologies' scientists perform large scale research projects involving fatigue, corrosion fatigue and cyclic loading. These have included the combined interaction of cathodic protection and fatigue of marine structures, the effect of cyclic loading and hydrotesting sequence on the stress corrosion cracking of large diameter gas transmission pipelines, and the effect of existing corrosion on the propagation of fatigue cracks in aluminum aircraft components.
