11. Burt Rutan has dismissed fears that pressurization cycles might induce fatigue failure in the composite structure. 12. There was no evidence of any fatigue failure . 13. To investigate fatigue failure it was necessary to determine the inservice loading of the brake rod. 14. They generally are stiffer than the tube, increasing the likelihood of a fatigue failure at the junction. 15. The Comet was withdrawn from service and extensively tested to discover the causes of the fatigue failures . 16. This phenomena is known as fatigue failure . 17. In less demanding services, fatigue failure is more gradual and often preceded by a series sensor failures. 18. The fatigue failures will occur when the component experiences cyclic stresses and strains that produce permanent damage. 19. Such failures are called fatigue failure . 20. Engineers call it a fatigue failure .
