About the course
Designing against fatigue is a crucial aspect of ensuring the safety and reliability of structural components subject to cyclic loading. This course provides a practical guide to fatigue-resistant design, focusing on industry best practices, common pitfalls, and actionable insights to enhance component durability.
Participants will learn about effective design strategies to mitigate fatigue and explore real-world examples of what to do—and what to avoid—when designing for fatigue.
Key topics include:
Best practices for designing against fatigue
Common design errors and how to avoid them
Practical examples of successful and unsuccessful fatigue design
This course is ideal for engineers looking to improve their design approach and create safer, more durable structures.

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.
