FRANC3D Training Workshop: Part IX April - 2018 Drs. Paul Wash Wawrzynek, Bruce Carter, Tony Ingraffea and Omar Ibrahim Fracture Analysis Consultants, Inc.
Workshop Agenda Part I: Introduction to Fracture Mechanics Analysis Part II: Introduction to FRANC3D Part III: Finite Element (FE) Model Import Part IV: Crack Insertion Part V: Static Crack Analysis & SIF Computation Part VI: SIFs from FE Part VII: Crack Growth Part VIII: Multiple/Variable DOF Approach to Fatigue Life Part IX: SIF History & Fatigue Life Part X: FRANC3D Files, Session Log, Command Line and Python Interface Part XI: Miscellaneous 2 Part IX
SIF History Re-Open FRANC3D restart file if needed from Cracks Cracks menu, choose SIFs SIFs Along a Path Along a Path Define different paths to look at SIF variations. 3 Part IX
SIF History from Cracks Cracks menu, choose SIFs SIFs For All Fronts For All Fronts Plot (and export) SIF values along all crack fronts. 4 Part IX
Fatigue Life Re-Open FRANC3D restart file if needed from Fatigue Fatigue menu, choose Fatigue Fatigue Life Predictions Life Predictions If crack growth was done using a fatigue option, the model & data is passed into the fatigue life module. For quasi-static growth, parameters must be set. 5 Part IX
Demo: SIF History and Fatigue Life 6 Part IX
