Why take this course?
This self-paced course introduces fatigue life analysis using nominal stresses to predict component lifespan under cyclic loading. Through video lectures and quizzes, you’ll learn fatigue prediction methods, safety factor evaluation, and practical applications. A certificate with PDH credits is awarded upon completion, enhancing your ability to perform reliable fatigue assessments for safer, longer-lasting designs.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you...
• have seen in depth the steps in the fatigue mechanism, from crack initiation and crack growth, to fatigue failure.
• are familiar with an S-N curve, and the impact of different factors such as loading type, component size and material strength on the fatigue life.
• understand how stress concentrations factors can be calculated and used to determine the effect of notches and other geometric features on the fatigue life.
• can calculate the fatigue life for a component under different loading conditions and the impact of safety factors.
• will have seen the underlying experimental tests and theory which forms the basis of the fatigue design S-N curves and stress concentration factors.
