A fatigue fracture from improper maintenance caused an Alaska Airlines' landing gear failure during a 2023 flight, NTSB ...

A Delta Air Lines Boeing 717 landed on its belly up after a crack in a part of the supports for the nose landing gear kept it ...

A Delta Air Lines Boeing 717, which landed "nose down" two years ago at North Carolina's Charlotte-Douglas International ...

Excessive grinding” during maintenance led to a metal pin to crack and eventually break causing the left landing gear to ...

First it was self-healing polymers. Then it was self-healing concrete. Now we have self-healing metals. A team of scientists at the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico recently observed a ...

We’re now learning why a Delta flight had to make an emergency landing at Charlotte Douglas International Airport without its ...

Why Trust Us? A new study found that metal can heal itself. On the scale of nanometers, cracks caused by fatigue damage were seen to heal themselves to the point that they completely disappeared.

In so doing, they found that metal fatigue occurring in the anode (due ... and contraction led to the development of microvoids and cracks at the anode–solid-state electrolyte interface, which ...

Apparently not. Scientists on Wednesday described how pieces of pure platinum and copper spontaneously healed cracks caused by metal fatigue during nanoscale experiments that had been designed to ...

The National Transportation Safety Board revealed Tuesday that 'excessive grinding' during maintenance work is what caused an ...

In the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, a malevolent time-travelling and shape-shifting android called T-1000 that was made of liquid metal showed a unique quality. Hit with blasts or bullets ...
