Fatigue life analysis and probabilistic modeling constitute a pivotal area in materials science and engineering, addressing the prediction of material degradation and failure under cyclic loading ...

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 ...

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 ...

A few guidelines show how to correctly use FEA stresses to find reasonable margins of safety. Although finite-element analysis has become an indispensable part of engineering, a few users knock it ...

Rolls-Royce will release a newly designed third-stage turbine wheel for its M250-C20F turboshaft engine by the end of the year, which will have improved strength and tolerance to fatigue cracking. The ...

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 ...
