The most consequential mechanical failures in transport aviation are often the ones which start as hairline cracks hidden ...

An overview of fatigue failure and how it affects mechanical systems. How FEA software enables engineers to predict fatigue failure points on structural designs, before the manufacturing process. From ...

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 ...

If you've ever wondered what happens to NASCAR engines after they blow up on the track, it's your lucky day. Here is the seriously nerdy failure analysis that goes into making sure those engines don't ...

Discover how COMET helps heavy-haul rail operators reduce failures and lower lifecycle costs with high-quality components and ...

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 ...

Shafts are fundamental components in a wide range of engineering applications, from automotive and aerospace to industrial machinery. The integrity of these elements is critical, as failure not only ...

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 ...

Even with simulation, critical failure modes like resonance-induced fatigue and connection looseness can emerge during ...

The fatigue-life contour plot of an aluminum suspension component was generated by fe-safe from Safe Technology Ltd., and a finite-element computer model. The software correctly predicted failure ...
