Durability and Damage Tolerance (DaDT) Analysis Best Practices Webinar

Strategies in engineering simulation for reducing the frequency, cost, complexity, and uncertainty of aircraft maintenance inspection intervals.

Advancements and best practices in airframe DaDT analysis, providing for higher resolution data and more reliable computational analyses, will be expertly demonstrated via applicable examples.

Simplify and sharpen DaDT fracture solutions with StressCheck FEA software.
Overcome computational barriers to achieve high-quality stress intensities, betas and energy release rates for airframe structures.
LIVE DEMO: Combine fastened joints and corner crack effects in a single simulation.

“As the United States Air Force continues to extend the service life of their aircraft the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) has had to refine the methods it uses to analyze and predict fatigue crack growth. Through the use StressCheck, coupled with AFGROW, we in A-10 ASIP have been able to more accurately model, predict and analyze critical aircraft structure for the A-10 and other types of structure for non-A-10 system managers. This also allows us within the A-10 to more accurately assess risk for decision makers, streamline aircraft inductions into scheduled maintenance and reduce cost for total life cycle management.”
