(#92) The Invisible Forces That Break Machines

Mechanical failure isn’t just “it snapped.” It’s any change in size, shape, or material behavior that makes a part useless, even if it’s still technically in one piece. This episode is a practical framework for stress analysis and real-world failure modes, built for engineers who want to stop guessing and start predicting. We break down stress and strain fundamentals (tension, compression, shear, axial and normal stress) and connect them to material behavior using Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s Ratio. Then we zoom into how real parts die: excessive elastic deflection, yielding, buckling, brinnelling, and fracture. You’ll also get a clean tour of the big destroyers: • Fatigue (high-cycle, low-cycle, thermal, corrosion, fretting) and how mean stress relationships like Goodman and Soderberg guide design. • Creep at temperature, including the classic creep phases and why damage accelerates when creep and fatigue combine. • Fracture mechanics using LEFM, stress intensity K, and fracture toughness Kc / KIc, plus when crack-based predictions actually apply. • Wear and interface failures like galling, spalling, and fretting, where surfaces turn into crack factories. Finally, we tie it all into design for reliability: choosing sane factors of safety, spotting environmental synergism (corrosion-fatigue is the tag team from hell), and using retrospective design so every failure becomes an upgrade instead of a recurring nightmare. If you design machinery, structures, rotating equipment, or anything that has to survive real life, this is the checklist your future self wishes you used.
