During lifting operations, the boom of large-tonnage all-terrain cranes bears quasi-static loads imposed by the structure weight and wind forces, and alternating cyclic loads caused by the departure, ...

High-strength steel, widely used in marine engineering, is prone to corrosion fatigue due to seawater corrosion and cyclic loading. This study experimentally investigates the effects of stress ratio, ...

Mechanical parts are more frequently subjected to cyclic loads than solely static loads. Fatigue issues are commonly observed in turbine blades, aerospace components, locomotive systems, large ...

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 ...
