[CUSTOM SOLUTION] Element Method Analysis

Critically assess the outputs, techniques and reported failures on these two case studies (800 words maximum):1. Failure analysis of a failed connecting rod cap and connecting bolts of a reciprocating compressor, X. Zhu, J. Xu, Y. Liu, B. Cen, X. Lu, Z. Zeng, Engineering Failure Analysis,Volume 74, 2017, Pages 218-227, ISSN 1350-6307, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfailanal.2017.01.016.( http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350630716307488 )2. Failure analysis and fatigue performance evaluation of a failed connecting rod of reciprocating air compressor, M. N. Ilman, R. A. Barizy, Engineering Failure Analysis,Volume 56, 2015, Pages 142-149,ISSN 1350-6307, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfailanal.2015.03.010.(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350630715000989)[Hint 1]: In order to do this task successfully, you will need to read other case studies from the same journal and from books and investigate the techniques, structures and failures named in the articles but not explained, as it is assumed the reader already knows about them.[Hint 2]: In order to understand the articles, you will need to find out the meaning of the technical terms used. You will be expected to use suitable technical terms as part of your analysis.[Hint 3]: You can discuss for example failure modes or materials phases. You may discuss alternative techniques to be used in order to verify the outcomes of the authors. Is there any other technique could have been considered not currently included in the article? What could have been the benefit? Why do you think those techniques have been used in the article? [Hint 4]: Was it possible to anticipate the failures in the process design? Might a good Finite Element Method analysis have predicted the failures?[Hint 5]: Use references, examples and/or your own experience appropriately.(20 Marks)
