SOLUTIONS IN SAFETY

STARCRACK AI

Starcrack was developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic of Milan, to track load spectrum or wheelset loads and estimate the optimal in-service NDT inspection intervals. A derivation of the famous Nasgro algorithm, created by NASA to guarantee maximum safety of the aerospace materials, Starcrack’s effectiveness and precision are validated by decades of tests. It can be used together with the Smartset® technology and separately to calculate crack propagation stress and corrosion fatigue.
