Engineering with Cracks: Fracture Mechanics for ASME Design and FFS Using Abaqus, Ansys & COMSOL

Introduction to Fracture Mechanics in FFS and ASME Design (with Abaqus, Ansys & COMSOL) Did you know a tiny crack in a large pressure vessel or pipeline can lead to sudden failure, even if the overall stress is well below the material’s yield strength? This scary scenario has real examples – like ships splitting in […]
Everything Engineers Need to Know About Fracture Mechanics and Simulation

Fracture Mechanics Explained: Concepts, Software Applications, and Simulation Insights By Saman Hosseini, Fracture Simulation Expert Hello! I’m Saman Hosseini, and I’ve spent years working on fracture mechanics simulation projects. In this post, I’ll walk you through the core concepts of fracture mechanics – like what stress intensity factors and Paris’ law mean – and share […]
