Fatigue & Damage Tolerance

We have extensive experience in Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Analysis. Our staff have been involved in this field since 1987. We hold EASA signature for Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Analysis Approval.

Examples of our specialisms include:

Local Strain Analysis

We provide analyses predicting life to crack initiation using Neuber’s rule. Our customers are using our J-Neub software for analysis and design of their aircraft structure.

Fracture Mechanics Analysis

We provide analyses using AFGROW and NASGRO software.
Analysis of short crack thresholds using techniques based on Smith, El-Haddad and Murakami theories.

Fatigue Monitoring / HUMS / Fleet tracking

We have written software for several fleet tracking programs, and we also provide fleet fatigue analyses and reports for our customers.

Full-Scale Fatigue Test Spectrum Generation

We have calculated spectra for several major tests based on a knowledge of measured service loads.

Fatigue Check Stress Analyses

We have experience of performing Check Stress Analyses on entire and partial aircraft structures.
