• Fatigue and Impact Testing of Composites Keeps Aerospace Industry Flying High
  , which may range in frequency from 10Hz to 1000 Hz, can give rise to High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) conditions in which the material is deformed elastically, save for a small plastic zone at the crack tip.  This can result in fatigue endurance of 106 to 109 cycles. Thermal cycles in aero engines, associated...

• Bolted Joint Uncertainties
  . Another area of uncertainty is the way parts of a bolted joint share external loads. Here, the stiffness ratio between bolts and joint members is key. Relatively flexible bolts will experience less change in stress for a given change in tensile load on the system, which can enhance bolt fatigue life. Bolt...

• A better way to design high-performance structures
  generates a wide range of useful information. For example, users might first evaluate a rendered CAD model of the calculated design. Then, a measure of high-cycle fatigue strength assesses how a structure will withstand exposure to high-frequency vibrations during intended use, such as afterburners on a jet...
