Fracture simulation is an important area of focus in the Aerospace and Defense industry, as it can help engineers to understand and predict the behavior of materials under extreme loading conditions. This is particularly important for critical components of aircraft, such as turbine blades, engine casings, and wing structures.
Advanced constitutive equations are used to describe the material behavior, taking into account factors such as strain rate, temperature, and loading history. Fracture simulation can be used to predict the onset of cracking and fracture in materials, as well as the propagation of cracks under different loading conditions. This can help our engineers to identify potential failure modes and design components with improved reliability and safety.
Additionally, fracture simulation can be used to optimize the material selection and design of components, such as selecting materials with improved fracture toughness or designing structures with improved load-bearing capacity.
