Hill Engineering & ESRD Announce Joint Marketing Agreement

Announcing Hill Engineering and ESRD Agreement to Jointly Market BAMpF & StressCheck® Professional

March 12, 2020

Hill Engineering and Engineering Software Research and Development, Inc. (ESRD) have executed a joint marketing agreement to collaboratively promote the combined use of our software tools Broad Application for Multi-Point Fatigue (BAMpF) and StressCheck® Professional, respectively, for the engineering applications of fatigue and damage tolerance analysis.

ESRD is pleased to join forces with Hill Engineering and LexTech, Inc. (an ESRD technology partner and developers of AFGROW) to enable state-of-the-art fatigue crack growth capabilities for DaDT engineers.

 

BAMpF is a software tool developed by Hill Engineering for predicting the growth of fatigue cracks in 3D parts. Starting from an assumed initial flaw, BAMpF automatically combines fracture mechanics solutions from StressCheck® with fatigue life calculations from AFGROW to assess fatigue crack growth performance.

Read Hill Engineering’s announcement.

BAMpF Resources

The following are helpful resources for learning more about the BAMpF/StressCheck®/AFGROW integration for fatigue crack growth:

  • BAMpF Home page (via Hill Engineering)
  • ESRD/Hill Engineering/LexTech Joint Webinar recording (recorded July 2019)
  • AFGROW/BAMpF Training workshop (courtesy LexTech/Hill Engineering/ASIP Conference 2019)
  • BAMpF Use Case presentation PDF (courtesy Brian Boeke/AFGROW User’s Conference 2019)

BAMpF Case Study Example

The figure below shows a comparison between the fatigue crack growth predicted near a hole (using BAMpF and StressCheck® Professional + AFGROW) and results from a fatigue crack growth test for similar conditions. In this case there is an initial flaw at the edge of the hole and the hole has been cold-expanded to introduce compressive residual stress.

Predicted crack front evolution (blue) compares favorably with the observed experimental result (red):

Testimonials

  • “Through the use of StressCheck® the A-10 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program’s (ASIP) Analysis Group is able to model more accurately the physics of fatigue crack propagation in critical aircraft structure.  Through this tool we are able to model, analyze and predict failure of aircraft structure and then develop crucial inspection and maintenance planes to ensure the safety and sustainability of our nations warplanes.  Without the analysis capability provided to us through StressCheck® we would not be able to provide accurate assessments of the A-10 structure to top USAF leadership.”
