BITS Pilani is an Indian private university with campuses in Pilani, Dubai, Goa, and Hyderabad. This document discusses analyzing multiple cracks found during an inspection of an aircraft hull plate using Franc3D software. It describes determining the fatigue life of an initial 2mm edge crack in a 3mm thick plate by simulating crack propagation until the crack reaches its critical length.

Revit Joint – Multiple crack
P r ob l e m S t at e m e nt In a particular portion of an aircraft hull, multiple cracks are found in the revit hole during the periodic inspection. Thickness of the plate is 3 mm, and the initial edge crack is of 2 mm. Determine fatigue life to which the crack reaches its critical length. ΔKth = 160 MPa√mm, KC = 1600 MPa√mm, C = 5.21E-13, m = 3. L e a rn i ng Ou tc o m es • From the above tutorial we have learned – To understand about multiple crack propagation – Use of single edge crack S t e ps • Importing the CDB file into Franc3D software • Incorporating the crack at critical location • Perform Static Crack analysis – to determine the SIF of initial crack • Perform Growth crack analysis – to set crack parameters • Perform Crack propagation analysis till it becomes through-wall • Review results I n te r p re ta t io n • Interpretation of SIF value with fracture toughness value.
