About this listen
Why do parts still fail when the math checks out? This episode digs into the uncomfortable gap between ideal equations and real-world behavior. We explore how assumptions break down under manufacturing tolerances, material variability, surface finish, residual stress, assembly preload, vibration, temperature, wear, and time. Learn how fatigue, stress concentrations, misalignment, lubrication breakdown, and environmental effects quietly overpower perfect calculations. Built for engineers who want to understand not just how to calculate strength, but why designs fail in service and how to close the gap between theory, simulation, and reality.
