AFGROW is a software program used for analyzing the growth of cracks in materials, particularly in aerospace, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering applications. The name "AFGROW" stands for "A Fatigue Crack Growth" model, and the software is primarily utilized for predicting fatigue crack growth under varying load conditions. AFGROW employs various computational models and methodologies to simulate crack growth behavior, considering factors like material properties, load history, environmental conditions, and crack geometry.
