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 ...

Inside the massive testing hangars across Seattle and Everett, the world's biggest jetliners are turned into mechanical lab rats. Hydraulic actuators yank their wings skyward, compressors simulate ...

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 ...

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 ...

When fully utilized, condition monitoring can transform how power plants operate and maintain their assets. It can lead to increased efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, improved safety, and better ...
