Fatigue cracking of an aircraft wheel

Failures of different aircraft components are revealed and examined generally by the use of non-destructive examination methods. In further explanation and interpretation of failures fractographic and metallographic methods are indispensable. The paper deals with a crack on aircraft wheel rim. The wheel was made from 2014-T6 aluminium alloy.. The crack on the rim investigated was a typical fatigue crack. Ut was branched, with a size lower than the critical size for fast fracture.
