Fatigue Science

Developed by InterDynamics, GRAID FRMS is an organizational fatigue risk-grading tool, used to rate the adequacy of current and future safeguards, making up an organization’s Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS). Twenty-four fatigue grading elements or risk factors, assigned varying levels of importance, are reviewed. At the end of the review, an overall grading is determined, providing feedback on the level of protection of the organization’s FRMS against fatigue-related risks. This systematic assessment tool gives participants the opportunity to express their views on fatigue-related exposures and risks that are grounded both in objective data as well as participants’ experiences. InterDynamics and Zurich Risk Engineering have developed the organizational fatigue risk grading system to provide senior and operational managers of organizations with a systematic methodology to ascertain the quality of their organizational risks associated with fatigue.

DigitalClone® for Engineering is the world's only gearbox reliability prediction solution integrating multiple scales of analysis in a single software package. In addition to modeling and analysis capabilities at the gearbox and gear/bearing levels, DC-E is the only solution available that models fatigue life based on detailed, physics-based models of the material microstructure (US Patent 10474772B2). DC-E enables construction of a gearbox digital twin with high value across all stages of the lifecycle of the physical asset - from design and manufacturing optimization to component supplier selection to failure root cause analysis to condition-based maintenance and to prognostics. This computational environment drives down the time and cost to bring new designs to the market and to sustain them over time.
