Finite Element Durability & Fatigue Life
Vibration Fatigue Simulation
Finite Element Analysis of Durability and Fatigue Life: Vibration Fatigue, Creep, Welded Structures Fatigue, Elastomer and Composite Fatigue
structural vibration can lead to various issues in products, such as fatigue and durability problems, adverse reactions to users or bystanders, and safety concerns. Structural vibration is the result of dynamic loads acting on a product, causing it to vibrate and potentially fail over time. Fatigue and durability problems can arise from repeated vibration cycles that can cause cracks, fractures, or other forms of damage to the product.
Undesirable vibrations can also be felt or heard by users, leading to discomfort or annoyance. In some cases, vibrations can even cause injury or health problems, such as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) or whole-body vibration (WBV) syndrome. Undesirable vibrations can also affect the performance of a product, leading to reduced efficiency, accuracy, or speed.

The wider discipline
Durability & Fatigue Life
Based on what we want to Design and Analysis, Stress, Strain or temperature from finite element (FE) software such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, NASTRAN, LS-Dyna, MSC Marc etc used. The industry-leading fatigue Simulation technology such as Simulia FE-SAFE, Ansys Ncode Design Life and FEMFAT used to calculate fatigue life of multiaxial, welds, short-fibre composite, vibration, crack growth, thermo-mechanical fatigue.
