"The structural fatigue was caused by operational temperatures that exceeded the expected and analyzed values of the nozzle material," Blue Origin wrote in an update on Friday.

Structural health monitoring is a proactive and technology-driven approach to safeguarding ageing infrastructure.

Every incident in this industry is an immediate reminder of what can go wrong,” a sobering quote shared by Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury in the wake of the recent Air India Boeing 787 crash, highlights ...

Structural failure of the nozzle at the base of a rocket engine powering an un-piloted New Shepard spacecraft toward the edge of space in September of 2022 triggered a dramatic-but-safe in-flight ...

Fatigue failure is a common challenge in machine design. For engineers and designers alike, addressing fatigue failure is key to ensuring the integrity of structures and components ...

This analysis uncovered an additional crack in the longeron and determined that structural fatigue, the gradual weakening and eventual failure of a material due to cyclic stresses, caused both cracks.

Fatigue crack growth represents a critical challenge in the performance and safety of structural materials. Under cyclic loading, microscopic flaws can develop into dominant cracks through a ...

The Boeing engineer, Sam Salehpour, alleged that almost 1,000 787s and about 400 777s currently flying are at risk of premature fatigue damage and structural failure.

-While the B-1B fleet faces age-related structural fatigue and high maintenance costs, retiring it prematurely could create a critical bomber capability gap, especially if the B-21 program ...
