The JuliaFEM software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large Finite Element Models across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. The basic design principle is: Everything is non-linear. All physics models are non-linear from which the linearizations are made as special cases. This is a work in progress. Thus, if you share the vision, contribute and join the community.

The high and very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) properties of ultrahigh-strength Ck45M steel processed by thermomechanical rolling integrated direct quenching were investigated. S-N tests with smooth and small drilled holes containing specimens as well as near-threshold fatigue crack growth measurements were performed up to 2 Â 10 10 cycles using ultrasonic-fatigue testing technique. The fatigue strength of smooth specimens is mainly determined by the size of nonmetallic inclusions. For surface defects larger than 80 μm, the fatigue limit can be correlated with a constant threshold-stress intensity factor. The ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi area p -parameter model adequately predicts the fatigue limit for internal defects and for surface defects with sizes between 30 and 80 μm. VHCF failures from smaller surface defects occur at stress amplitudes below the predicted fatigue limit. The long-crack threshold in ambient air is close to the effective threshold stress intensity factor. In optically dark areas at interior inclusions, cracks grow at mean propagation rates of 10 À15 m/cycles.
