- michaelt 3y agoIt's true - for example, waveform analysis that detected the CEO saying "bringing an outside entity up to speed on every innovation before it is put into real-world testing is anathema to rapid innovation" could have raised warnings as much as four years before the fatal accident.

- kergonath 3y agoWhich is helpful if the material is somewhat ductile. That’s what they do with aircrafts that are checked for microcracks. In a brittle material such as carbon fibre composites, the step between “a crack appears” and “the whole piece shatters” is typically measured in milliseconds. So monitoring crack propagation is not that useful. Both stresses and strains would look completely normal up until the point of failure. It’s the same for the bond between the titanium and carbon composite bits. These things deform differently and at different rates. Stress monitoring is much more difficult than in a single piece.
