Wheel fatigue testing and simulation represent a critical nexus of experimental mechanics and computational modelling, essential for ensuring the safety, durability and performance of modern ...

Even with simulation, critical failure modes like resonance-induced fatigue and connection looseness can emerge during ...

Inside the massive testing hangars across Seattle and Everett, the world's biggest jetliners are turned into mechanical lab rats. Hydraulic actuators yank their wings skyward, compressors simulate ...

Material or structural failures are typically the result of two types of loading modes: a single (static) load that results in failure or a repeated (cyclic) load that causes the material or structure ...

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 ...
