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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Boeing is about to start the 787's fatigue trials as it sets out to accumulate the required testing buffer ahead of the carbonfibre twinjet's planned service entry at year-end. The Dreamliner test ...

Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) has started airframe fatigue testing work for the Tejas Mk1 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). The facility is located at HAL’s Ground Test Centre in Bengaluru, the city where it ...

OSPREY FATIGUE TEST: The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey's airframe fatigue test program passed 20,000 effective flight hours in late February. The testing, which involves a full-size V-22, began in June 1998 ...

Another phase of the fatigue test of the new L-39NG jet aircraft from the Czech manufacturer Aero Vodochody was successfully completed at the Czech Aerospace Research Centre in Prague. The prototype ...
