Durability Analysis Software for Finite Element Models
The calculation of fatigue lives has traditionally been a notoriously complex and difficult task. The prediction of fatigue life and failure locations for welded joints and welded structures, including spot welds, can often result in poor correlation with test data. The Verity Structural Stress Method was developed and patented by Battelle. It was a major breakthrough in the fatigue analysis of welded joints from finite element models.
Verity in fe-safe combines Verity for the fatigue of welded structures with the advanced features of fe-safe for fatigue analysis for finite element models. It allows companies to reduce or avoid the expense of testing to validate the integrity of designs and avoid the common practice of over-engineering due to the uncertainty of fatigue life.
Verity Module in fe-safe is an add-on module to fe-safe.
As the original, patented Structural Stress Method, Verity is the most well validated of all the Structural Stress approaches. Key Benefits include:
Verity is validated for applications ranging from the automotive to offshore/marine industries, through collaboration with leading engineering companies who are members of Battelle's Joint Industry Project (JIP). The effectiveness of the method has been demonstrated by collapsing into a single curve many thousands of fatigue tests from lab specimens and full-scale components, obtained and verified from open literature. This is the ‘master S-N curve'.
Verity has received many prestigious awards including TIME Magazine's Math Innovators (2005), Aviation Week and Space Technology's 2004 Laurels Award; and SAE's Henry Ford II Distinguished Award for Excellence in Automotive Engineering (2003). Business Week dubbed Verity as "A Bolt of Genius in Welding" (2004).
