Fatigue Analysis

This book emphasizes the physical and practical aspects of fatigue and fracture. It covers mechanical properties of materials, differences between ductile and brittle fractures, fracture mechanics, the basics of fatigue, structural joints, high temperature failures, wear, environmentally-induced failures, and steps in the failure analysis process.

nCode, the leading brand of durability, test and analysis software offered by HBM, announced the version 9.0 release of nCode DesignLife. New enhancements and technologies for composites, welds, load reconstruction, multi-body dynamics, and data visualization provide unmatched capabilities for engineering durability and CAE fatigue analysis.

Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK) has released ANSYS 2024 R1 nCode DesignLife, the industry-leading tool for durability analysis, gives you a comprehensive diagnostic fatigue process to predict your product’s operational lifetime.

This book contains full papers presented at the First Virtual Conference on Mechanical Fatigue (VCMF 2020), which was organised by the University of Porto (FEUP, Portugal), the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (Poland), University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (China), Siberian Federal University (Russia), and the ESIS/TC12 Technical Committee (European Structural Integrity Society–ESIS), between 9 and 11 of September 2020. This conference was intended to be a forum of discussion of new research concepts, equipment, technology, materials and structures and other scientific advances within the field of mechanical fatigue and fracture. The first edition of the VCMF 2020 event has reached more than 60 participants from more than 20 nationalities demonstrating the vitality of this new event.

HBM, a wholly-owned subsidiary company of Spectris plc, a group specialized in precision instrumentation and electronic controls, has released the 11.0 version of nCode DesignLife (HyperWorks Partner version) has been the leading brand for engineering data analysis solutions with special concentration in fatigue and durability.
