Nonlinear Fatigue Analysis of Structural Supports

Steel structural supports can experience various types of failures, including fatigue, buckling, and fracture. To prevent these failures and ensure the long-term durability and safety of steel supports, nonlinear fatigue analysis by finite elements is crucial. Nonlinear fatigue analysis can account for complex factors such as material nonlinearity, geometric nonlinearity, and contact, providing a more accurate and realistic representation of the behavior of steel supports under cyclic loading.
