Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic loading, ...

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 ...

Power boiler startup and shutdown cycling and proper water chemistry are paramount in extending the life and reliability of the unit. Loss of control of either of these processes can cause cracking 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 ...
