AFGROW Insights

What is AFGROW?

AFGROW (Air Force Growth) is a software tool used for crack growth analysis and fracture mechanics. It predicts the growth of fatigue cracks in metallic structures under various loading conditions. It is commonly used in the aerospace industry to assess the structural integrity and durability of aircraft components, ensuring safety and preventing catastrophic failures.
