The study presents methods for performing fatigue testing based on standardized power spectrum density (PSD) profiles which correspond to the loads which can occur with the use of a given machine element or device. Methods for changing the character of instantaneous values of load amplitudes distributions, as generated based on the preset PSD profile are also presented, as they can affect the intensity of testing and reduce the time required for conducting fatigue or durability tests.
