Abstract

The aluminum beams are widely used in industries to provide the required strength to other engineering members and elements. These beams are susceptible to fatigue failure under dynamic/seismic loading and exposure to internal pressure, compression, tension, and/or any combinations of all these. Hence, fatigue life prediction is an important aspect of the safe design of such beams. In the present work, an attempt was made to predict the “propagation of an existing crack” in beam specimen using finite element methods (FEM) software FRANC2D and CASCA. The stiffness and stress intensity-based hypothesis was anticipated to convert a three-dimensional pre-cracked beam into a two-dimensional material. Finite element (FEA) methods-based two-dimensional crack proliferation simulator software FRANC2D and CASCA (a preprocessor) were used for simulation of crack propagation used to predict the crack propagation, and the results were found in agreement with experimental data using universal testing apparatus.
