An experiment testing the resilience of metal revealed nanoscale-level repair capabilities of metal, inspiring interesting ...

Traditional metal alloys can fracture or shatter under sudden external forces that exceed their yield strength, but they are also susceptible to fatigue when subjected to sustained pressure below ...

Investigators revealed that the incident was caused by a "fatigue crack" of a metal trunnion pin, which is part of the left landing gear. The fracture formed from excessive grinding during a 2018 ...

This novel approach facilitates the differentiation between near-surface, sub-surface, and internal defect-induced fracture modes, thereby enhancing the reliability of fatigue analysis in advanced ...

The work is published in Communications Materials as “Fatigue fracture mechanism of amorphous materials from a density-based coarse-grained model” (DOI: 10.1038/s43246-022-00293-9).

Metal fatigue happens when metals are exposed to repeated stressors like motions or consistent loads, which can cause microscopic cracks that get worse over time.

Traditional metal alloys can fracture or shatter under sudden external forces that exceed their yield strength, but they are also susceptible to fatigue when subjected to sustained pressure below ...
