Fatigue Made Easy

Fatigue failures have been documented and researched for over 150 years. Despite all of the understanding that has come from this research, unexpected failures still occur. Why? Fatigue is a complex subject, and it is easy for a non-expert to become overwhelmed by all of the detailed fatigue theories and features of analysis software.

This training session, taught by Dr. Darrell Socie, makes fatigue easy and provides a few simple ideas and concepts that can be used every day by design and test engineers.

Seminar Outline

Historical background
Physics of fatigue
Characterization of materials
Similitude (why fatigue modeling works)
Variability
Mean stress
Stress concentrations
Surface effects
Variable amplitude loading
Welded structures

Who Should Attend

This seminar will meet the needs of design and test engineers who want to or should know about fatigue. Although the course is meant for non-experts, fatigue experts may also benefit from the examples presented.

Benefits

Understanding a little about the background and physics of fatigue will allow you to effectively exploit established technology to provide durable products faster, cheaper and better.
