High-Cycle Fatigue Analysis of a Cylindrical Test Specimen

Application ID: 14047


A benchmark model for the fatigue module. A cylindrical test is subjected to non-proportional loading. Three stress based models: Findley, Matake, Normal stress, are compared to analytical values and to each other. The non-smooth behavior of the Matake model is captured and discussed.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
