1. Wing flutter, metal fatigue, turbine failure.

2. The aeroplane wing showed signs of metal fatigue.

3. The aircraft wings were showing signs of metal fatigue.

4. A cursory examination revealed the telltale marks of metal fatigue.

5. The problem turned out to be metal fatigue in the fuselage.

6. It is not just artistic ephemera which suffer from metal fatigue in the heat of ubiquitous exposure.

7. The process whereby small cracks inherent in the metal components making up aircraft engines grow over time is called metal fatigue, or 'fatigue crack growth'.

8. Research in the field of linear and non-linear stress analysis, acoustic analysis, structural dynamics, metal fatigue, metal fracture, metal creep site strain gauging and testing

9. Towards the end of the 1980s, the Roulettes flying hours had to be reduced as the MB-326 fleet developed premature metal fatigue problems and a replacement aircraft type was investigated.
