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, ...

With the growing demand for resilient, efficient, and low carbon infrastructure, increasing attention has been directed toward novel materials and ...

The turbulent air above a wildfire is punishing to aircraft structures. The excessive and frequent loads place an inordinate number of loading cycles on an aircraft, leading to accelerated crack ...

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 ...
