According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, last year the auto industry recalled close to a third more vehicles in the U.S. (22 million) than it sold (just over 15 million). Recalls were up by a staggering 25 percent during 2013, which is the industry’s highest rate since [...]
In the race to get products to market, does risk-mitigation get enough time in the winner’s circle? What do aerospace, medical device manufacturers, and auto racing all have in common? Answer: the need to minimize risk of premature/unexpected component failure while crossing the finish line first. While these industries [...]
Read the Next Blog in the Series The damage tolerance approach to design has been employed by the aerospace industry for decades. In contrast to the safe life design method, damage tolerance explicitly accounts the fatigue crack growth process. This design approach takes [...]
Read Next Blog in the Series The philosophy of safe life design is the preferred method for designing components for durable operation in the automotive industry. Under this method, the structure is operated at a stress far below the fatigue strength of the component. By doing this, [...]
