Newswise — In the field of structural engineering, blast-loaded reinforced concrete (RC) slabs require ductile bending failure to ensure high energy absorption, but premature brittle shear failure ...

Of all the car problems a person can have, premature engine failure is among the worst. This is the case because engines are one of the most important components of a vehicle, meaning they are ...

In the dynamic world of maintenance and operations, time is a nonrenewable resource that dictates the efficiency and effectiveness of processes. Among the numerous challenges that plague readiness, ...

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 ...

Although wind energy costs have declined over the past two decades, premature drivetrain failure still can lead to higher-than-expected turbine operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. To help identify ...
