(r) the number of cycles required to produce a specified state of failure in a specimen that is flexed in a prescribed method.
A measure of the susceptibility of a conductor or other device to failure due to fatigue from repeated bending.
The number of bends or twists, of specified type, that a cable will withstand before failure.
the relative ability of a rubber or plastic product to withstand cyclical bending stresses.
long term flexing of rubber will eventually cause it to soften slightly and begin to deteriorate, with cracks forming and spreading and ultimately causing failure; a variety of flex life tests are used to evaluate elastomers, but they are not very accurate and are subject to wide scatter
The measurement of the ability of a conductor to withstand repeated bending.
The qualification of the number of times a cable may bend before breaking.
