FATIGUE FAILURE
...Between 80 - 90% of all
structural failures occur through a fatigue mechanism NBS report

FATIGUE SIMULATION
Facilitates Product Integrity for an expected life Informed design decision about parameters used
Conservative designs: too expensive Not conservative enough: exposure to high costs Optimize with simulation instead of product revisions Redesign ,if needed, is expedited with simulation Provides informed choices to ensure product durability

FATIGUE ?
Material response under loading
Failure under repeated or otherwise varying load which never reaches a level sufficient to cause failure in a single application.
