DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF CRACK PROPAGATION IN CYCLIC LOADED STRUCTURES

Abstract

This report presents a detailed description of a computer program for the crack propagation analysis of cyclic loaded structures. The computer program calculates crack growth for both uniform and non-uniform cyclic loading and also calculates the number of load cycles to cause crack growth instability. Instructions for use of the program and two illustrative analysis problems are presented.
