Finding Equivalent Crack Growth Rate Data for Similar Steel Alloys Paper 09 April 2015 Alex-Litvinov AFGROW Tips and Tricks, Rules of Thumb, Material data (0) A short article entitled: “Finding Equivalent Crack Growth Rate Data for Similar Steel Alloys” is now available for download. The article summarizes a method that may be useful when looking for an appropriate crack growth rate model for a material that is not directly available in AFGROW. The article includes examples for two steel alloys, but a similar approach may be used for any material. To obtain this document go to the My AFGROW section (requires log in or registration).
AFGROW different versions side by side instalation instructions 10 November 2013 Alex-Litvinov AFGROW Tips and Tricks, installation (0) It is possible to have multiple versions of AFGROW installed on the same computer at the same time. The only limitation is that for the COM purposes there can be only one version of AFGROW registered with Windows. Here are the instructions: Copy the previous version of AFGROW to an external drive or another folder. Uninstall the previous version of AFGROW (using the add/remove programs option from the Control Panel) Install the new version in a different folder (i.e.: AFGROW52). Copy the previous version to its previous location. The new version will be registered with windows (part of the installation process), but you will be still able to run the previous version. The registered version will be the version that is visible to Windows COM. To change which version is visible to COM you need to unregister the version currently being used with COM with the command: afgrow.exe /unregister (using the command prompt as Administrator from the directory of the registered version), and register another version with the command: afgrow.exe /register (again, using the command prompt as Administrator from the directory where the desired version resides)
