High temperature, vibration, and impact loading are contributing factors to the fatigue of internal combustion engine and safety relief valves, pumps, turbines and compressors. Because the risk of failure is increased in active equipment, fitness for service analysis is especially important.
Dr. William J. O’Donnell, Founder of O’Donnell Consulting Engineers, Inc. offers an insight into how finite element mathematical simulations can mitigate risk and cut costs.
