, 2018, after an engine ripped apart mid-air, shattering a window on the 737 and nearly sucking out a passenger and one of 144passengers died. An early review of the accident revealed preliminary evidence of metal fatiguewhere a fan blade had broken off. Later the investigation confirmed evidence of metal fatigue.Fatigue critical components must be designed based on rigorous laboratory and/or full-scalecomponent testing before they are placed in service. Fatigue failures typically start from highstress concentration areas such as notches, holes or scratches. Fatigue behavior is known to be aweak-link process significantly influenced by local microstructural configurations [5]. The origin

after the successful launch of both boats (right).USCGA Project DescriptionIn contrast to the course at USNA, cadets at USCGA typically enroll in the boat design/buildcourse as a first-year student (freshmen). The design portion of the course is an optional one-credit lecture offered during the fall semester. The build or construction portion of the course isoffered in a one-credit laboratory format during the spring semester. Both semesters areconsidered “Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory” electives and do not affect the students’ GPA. Studentscan join each class independently, meaning a student may enroll in the build portion in the springwithout participating in the design portion in the fall. Typical enrollment for the fall is upwardsof 20
