Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very ...

Engineers have identified a fundamental deformation mechanism that can be leveraged to greatly enhance the fatigue properties of metals, opening the door to a new strategy for designing ...

Illinois Grainger engineers have identified a fundamental deformation mechanism that can be leveraged to greatly enhance the fatigue properties of metals, opening the door to a new strategy for ...

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 ...
