Crack growth analysis of a steel component showing fatigue crack propagation, stress intensity contours, and remaining life assessment.

Crack Growth Analysis: Methods, Models and Applications

Cracks are among the most serious defects found in industrial equipment and engineering structures. A small crack may appear harmless during an inspection. However, repeated loading can cause it to grow over time. Eventually, the crack may reach a critical size. At that point, the remaining section may no longer

Pressure vessel failure prevention workflow showing inspection, root cause analysis, fatigue monitoring, and simulation verification

Common Pressure Vessel Failures and How to Prevent Them

Pressure vessels are among the most critical assets in industrial facilities. They store or process gases, vapours, liquids, and chemical products under pressure, often in demanding environments involving high temperature, corrosive fluids, cyclic loading, vibration, and strict safety requirements. Because of this, pressure vessel failures are rarely minor events. A
