Fatigue vibratoire

The Vibration Fatigue option provides the capability to predict fatigue in the frequency domain and it is more realistic and efficient than time-domain analysis for applications with random loading such as wind and wave loads or where structures are excited by rotating machinery.

  • Simulates vibration shaker tests driven by random PSD, swept-sine, sine-dwell, or sine-on-random loading.
  • FE models are solved for frequency response or modal analysis. Vibration loading is defined in DesignLife and can include effect of multiple temperature and static offset load cases.
  • Complete duty cycles can combine different vibration loading types and then with time-domain loads for more complex loadings.
  • Multiple simultaneous frequency domain PSD loads can be applied including cross spectra to simulate real-world loading.
  • Frequency domain inputs can be quickly and directly generated from time series data.
  • Vibration fatigue can be used for stress-life, strain-life, seam weld, spot weld and short fibre composite analysis methods providing the most extensive frequency domain fatigue simulation capabilities commercially available.
