Large time increment approach for fatigue damage computations

Abstract

This contribution focuses on the use of a new method to reduce the computational demands of fatigue damage computations using continuum damage mechanics. The LArge Time INcrement (LATIN) method incorporates a model order reduction approach namely the proper generalised decomposition (PGD). LATIN has been extended to tackle damage problems.
