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 ...

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 ...

This paper presents the fracture failure mechanism of composite insulators that have been deployed for only one year on 750 kV transmission lines in strong wind areas. Investigations indicate that the ...

The National Transportation Safety Board has determined that a fatigue fracture in a critical nose landing gear component led to the emergency landing.

Stress fractures are small bone cracks from overuse. Learn about the causes, who's at risk, and current methods for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Fatigue failure is a common challenge in machine design. For engineers and designers alike, addressing fatigue failure is key to ensuring the integrity of structures and components ...

This research paper presents a failure analysis conducted on the guide valve located at the bottom of the primary outlet buffer tank in the reciprocating machine of the diesel hydrogenation unit ...

This study analyzed the fatigue failure of a parabolic spring made of 51CrV4 steel. A fracture mechanics approach was used to quantify the driving force and resistance for different loading ...
