8 DARWIN TM 4.0 Surface Damage Enhancements 8

9 DARWIN TM 4.0 Surface Damage: Zone Definition Feature-based risk methodology Zones are feature based (e.g., bolt hole) Disk risk = sum of individual zone risks Feature multiplier used to account for multiple identical features User inputs zone information: Plate dimensions Stress/temp gradients 9

10 DARWIN TM 4.0 Surface Damage: New K Solutions Surface damage features are modeled as one of the following crack types: Surface crack Surface crack at Hole Corner crack at Hole Weight function solution method used surface surface at hole corner at hole 10

11 DARWIN TM 4.0 Surface Damage: Plate/Gradient Visualization Gradient of selected load step displayed in plate and plot Plate filled with color gradient mapped directly from gradient points. 11

12 DARWIN TM 4.0 Surface Damage Inherent Vs. Surface Damage Common GUI tools are used to define a number of input variables associated with inherent and surface-damage-based defects Fracture model Material properties Inspections POD Curves Probability methods The remaining input variables are treated separately in the GUI: Crack types Defect distribution Stress & temperature Inherent Embedded, surface, corner FAA Advisory Circular 2D finite element model Surface Damage Surface, surface at hole, corner at hole Under development User defined Risk basis Volume Feature 12

13 DARWIN TM 5.0 Surface Damage Enhancements 13

20 Additional DARWIN TM Enhancements 20

21 Mission Mixing (DARWIN TM 5.0) Stress Input Format Developed several formats for importing stress & temperature data for multiple missions: Accepts data from multiple finite element results (UOF) files Added new stress and temperature scaling factors can be applied to some or all of the load steps Introduced zone groups can define specific regions to apply scaling factors or regression results from OEM-specific tools 21

22 Mission Mixing (DARWIN TM 5.0) Load Definition Load cases in UOF may be individually selected Click Button on Mission Editor Select Load Case File (UOF) Pick Load Cases to Include Checked load cases added 22

23 Mission stack defines order of missions Mission Mixing (DARWIN TM 5.0) Mission Stack Definition 23
