Boeing's structural fatigue testing process involves using massive rigs and hydraulic actuators to simulate thousands of ...

Steam turbine blades are critical components in power generation, and their failure can have profound economic and safety implications. Recent studies have underscored the importance of understanding ...

When designing printed circuit boards (PCBs), keep in mind the major causes of electronic failure: thermal cycling, vibration, and mechanical shock and drop. You can perform a variety of physical ...

The turbulent air above a wildfire is punishing to aircraft structures. The excessive and frequent loads place an inordinate number of loading cycles on an aircraft, leading to accelerated crack ...

Fatigue failures observed in a belt-driven engine cooling fan indicated the presence of significant vibration activity. A testing and analysis program was undertaken in an effort to measure the fan ...
