The Fracture Mechanics Concept of Creep and Creep/Fatigue Crack Growth in Life Assessment

There is an increasing need to assess the service life of components containing defect which operate at high temperature. This paper describes the current fracture mechanics concepts that are employed to predict cracking of engineering materials at high temperatures under static and cyclic loading. The relationship between these concepts and those of high temperature life assessment methods is ...

Component Mode Synthesis in ANSYS Workbench Simulation

At ANSYS Workbench 11.0, the ANSYS Rigid Dynamics add-on module enables users to define joint connections in complex kinematic assemblies. This ability to model rigid and flexible parts in ANSYS Workbench Simulation via joints is beneficial since the rigid parts are modeled with mass and rigid links (that is, rigid contact elements), thus providing load transfer capabilities and allowing users ...
