FatiguePro Fatigue Crack Growth Module

A fatigue crack growth module is available which computes the growth of a postulated flaw in critical components. This module may be used to support ISI findings, as well as to provide flaw tolerance analyses for components where fatigue usage may have exceeded allowable values. This module was originally developed to duplicate the methodology routinely used in most crack growth fracture mechanics problems.

Crack growth is typically employed for feedwater nozzles.
