The failures of T-ducts made of Ti A40 with 50mm in diameter and 0.52mm in thickness, used in the pneumatic system of a commercial aircraft, are examined as part of a research program aimed to improve the development of such systems. The investigation included the fractographic analysis of the burst parts, microstructure and internal duct surface observations and mechanical tests performed in samples...
Many failures that cross the path of the forensic engineering practitioner are rather mundane, involving bolts, shafts, gears and the like. Occasionally, however, a more unusual and interesting example of the use of fractography may turn up. These often revolve around the use of fractographic evidence in correctly identifying a likely sequence of events in a failure, and in proving, beyond reasonable...
