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

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 ...

Even after millions of cycles of load successfully applied, left unchecked, there can be a fatigue crack that grows to be critical under a single additional cycle of load applied at a given ...

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 ...

Although you are probably not aware of them, dozens of electronic control units (ECUs) — printed circuit boards (PCBs) in metal or plastic housings — exist in your car to control and monitor the ...
