Fatigue Crack Growth Analysis — Lesson 5

How to perform a fatigue crack growth analysis in Ansys Mechanical™ structural finite element analysis software?

A crack in a structure grows under cyclic loading conditions. Crack growth due to such cyclic loading is called as ‘Fatigue crack growth’. Such fatigue crack growth can propagate and reduce the lifespan of the structure. Therefore, performing a fatigue crack growth analysis can help increase fatigue life of the structure and safety of people.
