Abstract
The cause for the failure of an air compressor has been investigated. It was found that a pre-existing fatigue crack was present at the root of the impeller blade. Transients and unsteady operation of the equipment prior to the accident are thought to have grown the fatigue crack to its critical size, thereby causing an imbalance in the impeller rotation and leading to failure.
