StressCheck Tutorial: Computing Part-Thru Crack SIF’s from Geometric Nonlinear Solutions
Abstract: comparison between linear and geometric nonlinear stress intensity factor (SIF) extractions for a fitting section with a part-thru corner crack at a bearing-loaded hole. Note: solving a geometric nonlinear analysis results in normal springs being released in tension (compression-only).
