Engineering service 03

Fatigue, dynamics and failure investigation

Investigation of recurring cracking, abnormal vibration, changed hydraulic response and other behaviour that routine strength checks or isolated detail reviews do not explain.

Discuss this scope

What the work can deliver

  • A structured review of the damage mechanism and relevant operating conditions.
  • Assessment of load paths, stiffness, mass and dynamic response as required.
  • Findings that distinguish established causes from remaining uncertainties.
When to involve ACE
  • Cracks return in the same region after repair.
  • Vibration or machine response has changed.
  • Observed behaviour does not match the assumptions in the existing assessment.
