The goal of the action presented in this project is to develop a global leading network of industry, academia and fatigue solver developers to build a fatigue benchmark repository that will allow all stakeholders to test the quality of fatigue prediction models and of their various implementations in either in-house software units or in purchased solvers.

This would enhance EU competitivity, reduce research poverty and deliver safer components for citizens. The project will demonstrate that benchmarking is possible, and what level of result quality can be achieved. To quicken the development, validation and application process of new criteria, new fatigue software tool enabling large scale validation processes is to be developed.
