Items Tagged with 'fatigue cracks'

Fatigue testing is unique in that it repeatedly exposes parts to “real-world” conditions, producing data and results that helps manufacturers predict the part’s durability. 

First, a little history. The alternating current field measurement (ACFM) nondestructive testing technique was developed in the ‘80s to detect and estimate penetration depth of fatigue cracks in underwater welded tubular intersections of offshore oil platforms.
