Understanding the Effects of Fatigue in Design
The importance of analyzing fatigue continues to grow, as companies strive to be more efficient. Saving material saves money, after all. But preventing mechanical fatigue is even more vital.
Striking a balance between design cost savings and preserving design life is becoming more important every day. The motivation to study fatigue in mechanical design goes hand in hand with this growing need. Below we've provided a set of information for you to view and read that will help you to better understand the following:
- What is fatigue?
- Are my products or designs susceptible to fatigue?
- How is fatigue measured?
- How does SolidWorks Simulation analyze fatigue?
