Mechanical parts are more frequently subjected to cyclic loads than solely static loads. Fatigue issues are commonly observed in turbine blades, aerospace components, locomotive systems, large ...

Without a doubt, the most common failure mode I see in my lab is fatigue. Unlike overload failures, which occur more or less immediately when a load is applied, fatigue failures are progressive in ...

The film "Fatigue In Engineering Materials" explores the concept of fatigue in materials, highlighting how repeated loading can lead to failure even in components designed to operate within the ...

The most consequential mechanical failures in transport aviation are often the ones which start as hairline cracks hidden inside a load path that “always worked” until it does not. In the UPS MD-11F ...

Boeing 757 operators are being strongly advised to ensure flexible hydraulic hoses in the landing-gear are maintained and regularly replaced, after instances of hydraulic failure. The US FAA, in a ...

(Nanowerk News) It is estimated that over 80% of engineering failures are due to material fatigue, so the fight against metal fatigue failures continues, as this is a key parameter for lightweight ...

The study of drill pipe failure analysis and fatigue testing is critical in understanding the mechanisms behind fracture and degradation in drilling operations. Research in this field integrates ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. As investigations continue into last month's collapse of a football field-sized blade on one of Vineyard Wind's turbines, another ...
