Crack Propagation in Axial-Flow Fan Blades Under Complex Loading Conditions: A FRANC3D and ABAQUS Co-Simulation Approach [PDF]
Applied Sciences (Switzerland)Since fan blades are exposed to fatigue, and in some cases harsh loading conditions, they may exhibit fracture failures due to crack propagation, resulting in significant losses.

Accounting for non-linear effects in fatigue crack propagation simulations using FRANC3D
, 2014 In this thesis methods to account for non-linear effects in fatigue crack propagation simulations using FRANC3D are evaluated. FRANC3D is a crack growth software that supports automated crack growth in the FE mesh using the power of an external FE code.
