  2. Fatigue (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)

    Fatigue life scatter tends to increase for longer fatigue lives. Damage is irreversible. Materials do not recover when rested. Fatigue life is influenced by a variety of factors, such as temperature, surface finish, metallurgical microstructure, presence of oxidizing or inert chemicals, residual stresses, scuffing contact , etc.

  3. Thermo-mechanical fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermo-Mechanical_Fatigue

    Fatigue alone is the driving cause of failure in this case, causing the material to fail before oxidation can have much of an effect. [1] TMF still is not fully understood. There are many different models to attempt to predict the behavior and life of materials undergoing TMF loading. The two models presented below take different approaches.

  4. Waste management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_management

    Incinerators convert waste materials into heat, gas, steam, and ash. Incineration is carried out both on a small scale by individuals and on a large scale by industry. It is used to dispose of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste. It is recognized as a practical method of disposing of certain hazardous waste materials (such as biological medical ...

  5. Low-cycle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-cycle_fatigue

    Low cycle fatigue (LCF) has two fundamental characteristics: plastic deformation in each cycle; and low cycle phenomenon, in which the materials have finite endurance for this type of load. The term cycle refers to repeated applications of stress that lead to eventual fatigue and failure; low-cycle pertains to a long period between applications.

  6. Industrial waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_waste

    Industrial waste may be solid, semi-solid or liquid in form. It may be hazardous waste (some types of which are toxic) or non-hazardous waste. Industrial waste may pollute the nearby soil or adjacent water bodies, and can contaminate groundwater, lakes, streams, rivers or coastal waters. [1] Industrial waste is often mixed into municipal waste ...

  7. Corrosion fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_fatigue

    Curve A shows the fatigue behavior of a material tested in air. A fatigue threshold (or limit) is seen in curve A, corresponding to the horizontal part of the curve. Curves B and C represent the fatigue behavior of the same material in two corrosive environments. In curve B, the fatigue failure at high stress levels is retarded, and the fatigue ...

  8. Static fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_fatigue

    With static fatigue materials experience damage or failure under stress levels that are lower than their normal ultimate tensile strengths. [2] The exact details vary with the material type and environmental factors, such as moisture presence [3] and temperature. [4] [5] This phenomenon is closely related to stress corrosion cracking. [1]

  9. Vibration fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_fatigue

    Vibration fatigue is a mechanical engineering term describing material fatigue, caused by forced vibration of random nature. An excited structure responds according to its natural-dynamics modes, which results in a dynamic stress load in the material points. [ 1 ]
