The Sandia Fracture Challenge: blind round robin predictions of ductile tearing [PDF]
Existing and emerging methods in computational mechanics are rarely validated against problems with an unknown outcome. For this reason, Sandia National Laboratories, in partnership with US National Science Foundation and Naval Surface Warfare Center ...

Study of Mixed-Mode Cracking of Dovetail Root of an Aero-Engine Blade Like Structure
Aerospace structures must be designed in such a way so as to be able to withstand even more flight cycles and/or increased loads. Damage tolerance analysis could be exploited more and more to study, understand, and calculate the residual life of a ...

Analysis of Fatigue Crack Propagation in Steel I-Beams with Welded Transverse Stiffeners Subjected to In-Plane Loadings [PDF]
Fatigue crack propagation represents the mechanical damage that shortens the service life of bridge structures. Most fatigue cracks initiate at the welded details due to geometric discontinuities, residual stresses and initial weld defects.

Static fracture and modal analysis simulation of a gas turbine compressor blade and bladed disk system [PDF]
This paper presents a methodology for conducting a 3-D static fracture analysis with applications to a gas turbine compressor blade. An open crack model is considered in the study and crack-tip driving parameters are estimated by using 3-D singular crack-

Study of alternatives and experimental validation for predictions of hole-edge fatigue crack growth in 42CrMo4 steel [PDF]
The objective of this work is to establish pertinent criteria allowing an optimal alternative to be chosen for calculating the inputs needed to make Run/Repair/Replace decisions and to program inspection plans for cracked wind turbine bearing rings. With
