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 ...

In high-risk industries, safety discussions often center on equipment ratings, regulatory compliance, engineering controls, ...

Automotive suspension systems are critical to vehicle performance and safety, with fatigue life analysis playing a pivotal role in ensuring long-term reliability of components such as coil springs, ...

(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 ...

Medical devices are true marvels of human ingenuity. They save lives and improve quality of life in countless ways. But what happens when the materials used to make them can't keep up? In vascular ...

One thing many mechanical engineers remember from their classroom days is the Goodman diagram. They may remember it as a tool for designing components for fatigue. If you ever took a class on machine ...

In-service lubricant analysis serves both proactive and predictive roles. Proactive measurements—such as particle count, water content, glycol levels, viscosity, and acid number—concentrate on ...
