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 ...

Without a doubt, the most common failure mode I see in my lab is fatigue. Unlike overload failures, which occur more or less immediately when a load is applied, fatigue failures are progressive in ...

The film "Fatigue In Engineering Materials" explores the concept of fatigue in materials, highlighting how repeated loading can lead to failure even in components designed to operate within the ...

RAILWAY AGE, APRIL 2022 ISSUE: Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic that professionals in the railway industry have asked to learn more ...

That overwhelming exhaustion creeping into daily life might signal something far more serious than a busy schedule or poor sleep. When the heart struggles to pump blood effectively throughout the body ...

Why modern electronics are so susceptible to thermomechanical fatigue. How multiphysics software tools can aid the design process, resulting in better product longevity. The airbags in your car… the ...

Throughout my years of coaching and training on my own, the subject of pushing to failure (or beyond) with heavier weights or higher reps has been either the goal or something to avoid. A new ...

The human element is one of the most critical safety factors at airports, often concentrated out of public view.

Fatigue can stem from a variety of illnesses and life stressors, but when that exhaustion lasts for months it may indicate a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome.
