What happens when machines turn against us? Mechanical failures have caused plane crashes, ship sinkings, and even nuclear ...

We’ve always had a morbid fascination with engineering mega-failures, few of which escape our attention. But we’d never heard of the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector implosion until ...

They occurred in different industrial settings, involved very different engineering failures, and happened in different operational contexts. However, analysis of the findings from the investigations ...

Five geological engineering students at Michigan Technological University ... Their fieldwork and topographic analysis suggest that the slope failures were probably the result of a combination of ...
