Damage: Experimental Validation and Prospects

The purpose is to present DAMAGE, a software devoloped by LMT-Cachan and supported by SNECMA Space Engine Division. Based on the LMT two-scale model, this software is dedicated to the prediction of HCF crack initiation, especially for high stress ratios and multiaxial loading. The experimental validation of DAMAGE on industrial applications will be presented and disscussed.
