Material fatigue
This course is aimed at industrial engineers who want to learn more about fatigue issues in mechanical components. We will cover why the fatigue range is important, how fatigue failure occurs and, most importantly, how to design mechanical components to avoid fatigue.
Facts and figures
Target group:
Engineers in industry
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of solid mechanics.
Scope:
80 hours
Language:
English/Swedish
Location:
Fully digital
Price:
SEK 8 000 excluding VAT

Course content
This course deals with fatigue of mechanical components. We start with an introductory part where we introduce the fatigue phenomenon, discuss how and why fatigue occurs, why it is important, and go through the terminology. Then we learn a method to design against fatigue failure, and discuss how to use this in FEM. Finally, we go through loads with variable amplitude, partial damage and how standards for fatigue design work.
Course structure
The course is given in the form of lectures (3 x 2 hours) and problem solving sessions (2 x 2 hours) digitally via Microsoft Teams. Between the activities, the participants solve problems on their own in the form of assignments that constitute the course examination. The course is suitable for engineers who have basic knowledge in solid mechanics.
In order to pass the course
You must have completed all course assignments with a passing grade.
Teachers
Erik Olsson, Associate Professor
Other courses
If interested, we can also offer extension on crack growth, probabilistic aspects, and multiaxial fatigue (4 hours scheduled and 40 hours study time per part).
