The fatigue-life contour plot of an aluminum suspension component was generated by fe-safe from Safe Technology Ltd., and a finite-element computer model. The software correctly predicted failure ...

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 ...

New Misulab-nCode DesignLife interface transfers residual stresses for fatigue assessment, helping optimise machining ...

A University of Miami materials engineer is developing a method that will help the aviation industry learn more about the strength and durability of composite materials. Thinner than a human hair, the ...

Failure Mode, Mechanism and Effect Analysis (FMMEA) is a reliability analysis method which is used to study possible failure modes, failure mechanisms of each component, and to identify the effects of ...

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 ...
