Fatigue & Fracture Control
Do you know what a potential fracture critical item is? We do!
The heavy vibrations during launch of any space mission as well as the sometimes extreme amount of cycles in temperature or pressure variations may cause cracks or fatigue effects in structures.
Our offer includes:
01
Fracture Control Plans
02
Potential Fracture Critical Items (PFCIL)
03
Definition of loads and cycles
04
Selection of most suitable verification methods
05
Relevant fatigue and crack growth analyses
- Fatigue verifications according to ESAFATIG, EN 1993-1-9
- Fracture mechanics analyses with ESACRACK, NASGRO
Standards and processes followed:
ECSS-E-ST-32-01C standard
ECSS-E-HB-32 handbook series
