Materials characterisation of bizarre and catastrophic 'burst' failure in metal by 'Hutchison Effect'

A small cross-section aluminium alloy rod was subjected to an unexplained phenomenon called the 'Hutchison Effect' which caused the rod end to 'burst' forming a bizarre, frayed failure consisting of peeled platelets 0·05 to 2 mm thick, many torn along striated surface features to form metal strands or filaments resembling a frayed rope. This unusual failure did not exhibit any unexplained metallurgical or materials phenomena when examined using a materials characterisation protocol including optical metallography, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, leaving the mechanism for this bizarre failure unexplained.

Imagine this occuring in a metal implant or Tesla vehicle? Maybe this is why Tires will suddenly break off?

Jacksonville woman says wheel fell off brand-new Tesla

I'm on the phone with Tesla and the wheel comes off of the car while I'm on the freeway. I was terrified. Especially because my daughter was in the backseat, and she's a toddler."
