Purpose: The article presents an overview of fatigue testing devices for polymer composites in a complex load condition. This paper presents physically existing devices and which are in the design phase. Also presented are own concepts of the construction of such devices. The analysis of each device was completed with a description of its advantages and disadvantages. There are various constructor approaches to the problem of fatigue testing. The choice of the device depends on the research program adopted for implementation. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the comparative analysis of individual devices. The authors presented their own proprietary designs of machines for fatigue tests in a complex load condition. Findings: It was found that the selection of the machine should provide restoration of real working reconstruction of the tested object. Originality/value: Specialist research machines are very expensive. Knowledge about technical solutions and potential capabilities of fatigue testing machines, and about the availability of such devices, allows for the best adjustment of the research program and the optimization of their costs. For designers of new machines, the submitted compendium of solutions may provide inspiration for improvements in the own constructions of subsequent generations of such devices.
