Does the ANSYS fatigue module use the full or the alternating stress difference range?


In Release 10.0, the ANSYS fatigue module uses alternating stress difference range.


! AXISYMMETRIC MODEL WITH INTERNAL PRESSURE
! EXPECTED RESULTS
! ******************************* *****************
! Stress Intensity Event 1 = 10000 (approx)
! Stress Intensity Event 2 = 20000 (approx)
! Alternating Stress Intensity = 5000 (approx)
! Required Cycles = 1000
! Allowable Cycles = 10000 (approx)
! Fatigue Usage = 0.1 (approx)

ri = 10 ! inside radius
ro = 11 ! outside radius
thick = ro-ri ! thickness
len = 50 ! length
md = 3 ! mesh density - higher number = more refined
p_int = 1000 ! internal pressure
del = 1e-6 ! selection factor
