StressCheck Tutorial: Incrementing a Thru-Crack in a Filled Hole via Excel VBA
Abstract: designing and executing an Excel VBA-based Simulation App for the computation of thru-crack SIF’s in the vicinity of a filled hole represented by a fastener element. The model used for the tutorial (CrackedLug.scw) is found in the 2D-Fracture Handbook, and the Excel macro can be downloaded from the link below the video.
