Some offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structures may fall short of required fatigue life expectations, according to a new ...

Fatigue failure is a failure mechanism which results from the formation and growth of cracks under repeated cyclic stress loading, leading to fracture. It can result in failure at stress levels well ...

During the entire service life of portable electronic products such as cellular phone, game station, and PDA, the printed circuit board (PCB) is subjected to a low frequency random vibration as a ...

This work investigates the fatigue failure mode of a shaft used in a conveyor system for mining applications through visual inspection, metallographic examination, fracture analysis, and mechanical ...

NiTi instruments have a high risk of separation due to torsional or flexural fatigue (cyclic fatigue). Chemomechanical preparation, cleaning procedures, chemical disinfection and sterilization cause ...

Recent electromigration (EM) testing of wafer-level chip scale packages (WCSPs) under various duty factors (DFs) or pulse "on"/"off" ratio, of low-frequency pulsed-direct current (pulsed-DC) ...
