Dear Collegue

We are organising in July 7-9, 2010 an Euromech workshop on Multiscale

effects in Fatigue, at the Ecole Polytechnique, near Paris in France.

Outcomes and topics are detailed on the following web site:

We would be honoured if you could contribute to this workshop to present

some of your recent research results. The workshop is thought as a small

experimental data

Can anyone help point me to publicly-available fatigue or fracture test data? I am interested in obtaining a variety of data for statistical processing. It seems many authors have used the data collected by Virkler and Hillberry which seems to be widely used, but I have not found raw data for their tests so far; is this data available somewhere for me to use? Any help is very appreciated.

Fatigue analysis in ANSYS claasic environment !!

Submitted by bhamarsd on Thu, 11/19/2009 - 23:47

Hello ANSYS users,

I am having hard time ANSYS's documentation for fatigue analysis in claasic environment. Tutorials available on internet talk bat ansys workbench only. Has anyone done fatigue analysis in ANSYS claasic? If yes, is there any source for tutorials ?

Thanks,

PhD thesis Evaluation

Sir,

one of my students is working on PhD topic " Study of cold hole expansion and evaluation of fatigue properties on critical aerospace components". His work has to be reviewed by professor of non indian origin in foreign universities. I request you to kindly help this student. If you are interested, let me know, so that I will ask my university to contact you in this regard.

Thanks

Stress/Strain calculation

Fatigue

Hello

what do think why investigators await about 3 decades to calculation of local stress/strain by elastic-plastic fracture mechanics?and basically why elber's discovery[crack closure] was so important and play a key role in numerous articles?

How can i calcualtion the amount of load transfer through the contacting crack faces?

How can i determine the location of it?

Thank you

Hadi

how can i measure local stress and strain in fatigue crack tip?

Fatigue

It seems that the measurment of local stress and strain in fatigue crack tip will be difficult. some researcher use F.E analysis method,in contrary using of numerical solution. however analytical method also has investigated. what method you can imagine? i need a brain storm in this issue.

Thank you

Hadi

Fatigue

hi all,

I am a mechanical engineer currently pursuing Master degree (Post graduation). Ultimately i also want to pursue a research leading to PhD after my master's. Its my burning desire to do some significant research in the field of Fatigue analysis using Fracture mechanics approach preferably for aerospace domain using advanced CAE softwares like Nasgrow, Afgrow, Abaqus, FE-safe, MSC Fatigue, etc,..
