The European Norm 12952-3 was derived largely from the German code TRD 301, which many manufacturers used previously for cyclic assessment. The HRSG is designed according to ASME, but is also checked ...

An overview of fatigue failure and how it affects mechanical systems. How FEA software enables engineers to predict fatigue failure points on structural designs, before the manufacturing process. From ...

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 ...

The contents have been developed as course notes for training courses presented to engineers who need to apply fatigue knowledge in engineering design, fatigue testing and failure investigation.

Material fatigue is generally considered the most-common failure mode for welded parts and structures subject to dynamic loads and stresses. The two previous articles in this series delved into the ...
