Fatigue crack growth represents a critical challenge in structural engineering, where repetitive cyclic loading provokes the initiation and propagation of cracks. The field has evolved to include ...

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 ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers detail a new method for testing metals at a microscopic scale. The research exposes the origins of crack initiation in metals and unravels a method to prevent ...
