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 ...

EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) reports that 7FA gas turbines have a rotor life of about 144,000 hours, or 5,000 starts. The primary life-limiting factor is high cycle fatigue cracks ...

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 ...
