Specialized skill for fatigue life prediction and damage tolerance assessment

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Skill skill

Purpose

Provide specialized fatigue life prediction and damage tolerance assessment capabilities for airworthiness certification and structural integrity management.

Capabilities

  • S-N and strain-life analysis
  • Crack growth analysis (NASGRO, AFGROW)
  • Inspection interval determination
  • Damage tolerance substantiation
  • Spectrum loading analysis
  • Mean stress correction methods
  • Multi-site damage assessment
  • Certification evidence generation

Usage Guidelines

  • Use appropriate fatigue methodology based on structural criticality
  • Select material data from qualified sources (MMPDS, ESDU)
  • Apply appropriate scatter factors per regulatory requirements
  • Consider environmental effects on fatigue and crack growth
  • Define inspection intervals with adequate safety margins
  • Document all assumptions and conservatisms in certification reports

Dependencies

  • NASGRO
  • AFGROW
  • Fe-Safe
  • nCode DesignLife

Process Integration

  • AE-008: Fatigue and Damage Tolerance
  • AE-021: Certification Planning
