... installations clamps maintenance engineering Fatigue crack grind repair has been investigated in the past, demonstrating that grinding is a feasible option for the repair of fatigue cracks. The grind repair profiles used have shown that if cracks reinitiate, this occurs in the bottom of the repair...
