About the course

Fatigue analysis is a critical tool for predicting the lifespan of components subjected to cyclic loading. This course introduces the concept of nominal stresses and their application in fatigue life predictions, providing a step-by-step approach to performing fatigue analysis in engineering contexts.

Participants will learn how to make accurate fatigue predictions using nominal stresses, evaluate safety factors, and apply these principles through practical examples.

Key topics include:
Introduction to fatigue life analysis
Fatigue prediction methodologies using nominal stresses
Practical examples and case studies
Application of safety factors in fatigue analysis

This course equips engineers with the skills and knowledge to perform reliable fatigue assessments, ensuring the safety and longevity of their designs.

Learning Outcomes

After 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.

Who should attend this course
