Objective: The purpose of this round robin exercise is to determine the variability of users, given the same loading spectrum, material data, and Initial Flaw Size (IFS) to predict the evolution of the crack front shape and the total life of a given geometry using the AFGROW framework as the life prediction tool. Certain aspects of the AFGROW framework will be provided for common use by each participant, and others will be left to the user's discretion. It is important that each participant follow this guidance so that variability in the predictions is limited to the aspects left to user discretion.
