Summary

Between 2012 and 2015, the Regional Technological Institute (RTI), an engineering-technological research centre, was gradually built as an entity affiliated with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. One of the research programmes conducted by this centre involves the research and development of rolling stock. For this, as well as other research assignments, the RTI uses ten laboratories with modern equipment. Among them, are a strength and fatigue life testing laboratory, a laboratory of experimental methods for mechanical engineering, and a virtual prototyping shop. Expanding the existing knowledge and advancing practical applications of computational and laboratory verification of the fatigue life of rolling stock structures are some of the topics pursued under this research programme. This paper analyses various types of classification of laboratory fatigue tests and, in particular, examples of their use in several concrete research and development projects.
