Fatigue loading definition

[Nicolas R.]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to make a crack propagation simulation in ductile materials using Paris law to control the cracking growing process, I am struggling to define the fatigue loading path, I need to know how I can define it basically...?

Any guidance will be very appreciated, in advance THANKS!!

what you want is a cyclic stress, zero to 10ksi as an example.

there are (free) crack growth analysis codes out there … AFGRO, FLAGRO, and others.

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?
