Concomitant with the development of new technologies in usage of renewable energies and with the necessity of replacing metal, epoxy polymeric materials are becoming more frequently used. Their main advantages are the reduced weight, high mechanical and corrosion resistance, the possibility to recover, recondition and reutilise the components. Thus, they become suitable for various industries, such as: automobile manufacturing, wind turbine blades, naval industry etc. Increased fragility and low resistance in initiating and developing cracks lead to varied fatigue performance. One way of reducing these disadvantages is to test fatigue in order to observe and analyse its manifestation, before projecting components. This paper presents tests carried on cylindrical epoxy polymeric samples. The samples were manufactured through casting in tubular moulds because of great advantages of this method. The manufacturing time is short, the material usage is maximised and after casting, the samples are smooth and don’t have sharp edges. Hence, the risk of unwanted concentrated stress is eliminated. The testing means assessing the samples to variable loading in rotating bending. For a better precision of test results, it is very important that his method could be accurately repeated with samples, preparing them in similar conditions. The results are used to draw Wohler`s curve using stress-number of cycles (S-N) as coordinates, specific to the tested material. Finally, the level of maximum stress of a material that resists fatigue, without having any ulterior damage can be determined.
