Stress Analysis and Lifetime Assessment

Safe and cost-effective dimensioning of parts exposed to fatigue failure

An appropriate design concerning stress distribution and lifetime of any component is a major issue for all companies working in the field of aircraft design, automotive or railway transport systems, ship-building or any other mechanical engineering sector. The request for a weight-saving design, which still fulfills all requirements of quality and safety, led to an increased importance of computational stress analysis and higher demands for fatigue and lifetime prediction.
