Fatigue Analysis

MSC Software recently released version 2020 SP1 of its flagship finite element analysis (FEA) solver, Nastran. This release corrects four defects evident in version 2020 that concern the import of Nastran Embedded Fatigue and acoustic pressure results into Patran; corrects a licensing defect concerning the TABLRPC entry; and shell elements SFRP failure indicator output in the Digimat-to-SOL 400 MATDIGI interface.

This volume explores various aspects related to fatigue and fracture in metallic and non-metallic materials in terms of mechanical testing and numerical modelling. The book provides results of research work conducted by experts worldwide.

Component failures result from a combination of factors involving materials science, mechanics, thermodynamics, corrosion, and tribology. With the right guidance, you donâ ™t have to be an authority in all of these areas to become skilled at diagnosing and preventing failures. Based on the authorâ ™s more than thirty years of experience, Practical Plant Failure Analysis: A Guide to Understanding Machinery Deterioration and Improving Equipment Reliability is a down-to-earth guide to improving machinery maintenance and reliability.

The CADFEM ANSYS extensions are engineering tools developed for ANSYS by CADFEM and partners. When integrated into the ANSYS Workbench, they selectively expand the functional scope of ANSYS with specific applications.
