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 ...

The paper focused on the fatigue testing of thin-walled composite structures with notches. The fatigue experiments were supported by non-destructive diagnostic techniques, including thermography, ...

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 ...

Test engineers undoubtedly agree on the need for a test rig that can evaluate the reliability of a vehicle’s suspension system. However, developing and building a high-performance fatigue bench that ...

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 ...

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.

Mechanical fatigue is a wily old engineering adversary. It seeps slowly into parts, weakening structurally sound components ...
