Nonproportional Fatigue Loading

This lesson talks about the skills to predict crack paths and the associated number of load cycles under nonproportional fatigue loading using Ansys S.M.A.R.T. Crack Growth. It delves into the process of accurately modeling stresses and the propagation phase caused by fretting fatigue. This will enable students to predict the failure of components effectively. It covers the theoretical aspects, practical application, and interpretation of results to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
