Questions About Singularities

Jan 5, 2024

Engineering students and professionals alike want to know: are singularities “real”? And if so, when they appear in our solutions, what are we supposed to do with them?

Regarding the practical question of what to do with singularities; we need to distinguish between cases where singularities are just nuisances and where a singularity is the object of simulation.

Testimonials

  • “In the case of the through crack configuration, the comparison of experimental and StressCheck derived geometry factors showed a close correlation and were an improvement to solutions provided in AFGROW at the time. Based on the results of this research, StressCheck pin-loaded lug geometry factors have since been incorporated into the AFGROW software.”

Testimonials

“A screening of existent commercial and non-commercial tools was carried out in respect to their fracture mechanics capabilities, their design abilities, implementation as well as their complexity. Although, there are many software possibilities, only those within the reach of the author were evaluated. This resulted in the selection of the commercial tool StressCheck. The assessment of crack propagation on compact tension and two stringer specimens governed by the Paris and Forman regimes was satisfactory compared with experimental results using the material data from simple standard specimens.”
