Fatigue life estimation method under alternating stress
Practice has shown that the failure mode of components under alternating stress is completely different from that under static load. Under alternating stress, although the maximum stress is lower than the yield limit, it will suddenly fracture after long-term repetition.

How to comprehensively evaluate the low VOC and low haze PBT automotive headlight decorative ring?
The streamlined and personalized design requirements of the car's exterior make the distance between the headlights and the decorative frame increasingly close. The gradual increase in the wattage of the front headlight bulbs leads to accelerated aging and deformation of materials, as well as fogging of the headlights. Therefore, the requirements for the heat-resistant and VOC content of the headlight decorative ring materials are becoming higher and higher.
