Reference manual for the LIFE2 computer code

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5690962· OSTI ID:5690962
;

LIFE2 is a PC-compatible computer code that analyzes the service lifetime of a WECS component. The LIFE2 code is written in Fortran and has the option of using either a fatigue analysis or a linear fracture mechanics analysis. This document contains information on what the code expects as input and what can be expected as output from the code. Also included are two example problems. 11 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab.
