The FABER Project

Background

FatPy is a key initiative of Working Group 6 (WG6) within the FABER (Fatigue Benchmark Repository) project, operating under COST Action CA23109. The FABER project aims to create a comprehensive database of experimental fatigue data to enhance the accuracy of fatigue life predictions.

Working Group 6 is specifically focused on developing open-source fatigue software, with FatPy being a flagship product of this endeavor.
