Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics Calculations are no longer a Laborious Task
Welcome to
ViDa, the Fatigue Damage Calculator.Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics calculations can be a very laborious task without a powerful software like ViDa, mainly when we need to calculate the accumulated damage or the remaining life of a structure or equipment which work under complex loading. In these cases, all we really wish is just specify the material, the applied stresses or strains and the appropriate stress concentration factor, and let the computer do (fast and accurately!) the required calculations.
ViDa
has been developed by fatigue engineers to satisfy our design needs. Having a basic fatigue training, anyone can learn how to use its basic features in a glance.This complete Damage Calculation Environment includes all the traditional fatigue design methods, and introduces a series of improvements to enhance the speed and the accuracy of the numerical results, e.g.:
- Calculates the Fatigue Damage by the SN, eN and da/dN Methods
- Plots the Correct Elastoplastic Hysteresis Loops using the eN Method and Neuber System
- Rainflow Counts and Racetrack Filters Complex Loading Histories
- Calculates the remaining life of Welded Structures
- Predicts the Uni and Bidimensional Growth of Fatigue Cracks, Including Retardation Effects
- Calculates Kt, q, and Other Constants Required by the Various Design Methods
- Automatically Adjusts Experimental Curves using a built-in Equation Interpreter
- Has Friendly & Expansible Databanks with Materials Properties, Stress Intensity Factors, Crack Propagation Equations, and More!
ViDa
's package includes the complete software, including a database with over 13000 materials, comprehensive user manuals and online help, and the new textbook "Fatigue Design Under Complex Loading".
