Severe Cyclic Condition - 12/13/17 01:16 AM

Good Day!

I just want to know how to analyze a system with "Severe Cyclic Condition"? I only knew the principle/category of a cyclic system but I do not know what necessary input/action to do on the actual CAESAR II program. I have done several normal cycle of 7000 cycle but not with severe cyclic condition (>7000 cycle)

Thank you in advance.

Analysis of systems subject to severe cyclic conditions will be the same as other systems - you will just have the "f" to specify (which will reduce your limit for the expansion stress range).
Severe cyclic conditions will affect your component material selection, your method of joining components and your examination details.
