The aircraft touched down approximately 1,400 feet from the runway threshold, and the nose was lowered onto the runway at about 80 knots before coming to a stop.

Fatigue is the process by which materials develop cracks due to repeated loading cycles, ultimately compromising structural integrity. Suresh has leveraged advanced fracture mechanics techniques ...

Minute changes of temperature in aircraft wings, refrigerator hinges, bridge cable pins and so on, can directly indicate changes in structural load which can betray the presence of metal fatigue ...

Fatigue crack growth in aluminium alloys, ... critical role of high-fidelity experimental data and nuanced models in forecasting crack progression under realistic aircraft loading spectra [2].

But due to the supposed properties of Ti-6-4, fatigue tests on production samples included virtually no constant-load phase. Such evaluations focused on transients.

Air-safety investigators have found "fatigue cracking" in an aircraft that crashed after one of its wings fell off while it was water-bombing bushfires on the NSW south coast.

An aircraft of that type and age would normally be expected to have logged little more than 30,000 flights. Over the years, Boeing has probably accumulated more data on the fatigue life of ...

Engineers have demonstrated improvements in the fatigue life of high strength aluminum alloys by 25 times -- a significant outcome for the transport manufacturing industry.

The full-scale fatigue test of AG600 aircraft is a special and complicated fatigue test for the whole aircraft. It is the most important test to verify compliance with relevant regulations of the ...
