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 ...

In a first for the construction industry, researchers have developed a virtual vibration test rig (VTR) capable of simulating the fatigue life of dozer push arms with unprecedented accuracy. This ...

Under specific conditions, hydrogen can diffuse in metal, leaving a long-term effect on the material’s properties. Close investigation of the behavior of materials and components in hydrogen-rich ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

Purely static loading is rarely observed in modern engineering components or structures. By far, the majority of structures involve parts subjected to fluctuating or cyclic loads, often resulting in ...

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS Nexus, researchers explored using multimodal wearable sensors combined with machine learning to measure real-time fatigue among manufacturing workers.
