About the course

Fatigue failure is a critical concern in pressure vessel design, particularly under cyclic loading conditions that can lead to the formation of micro-cracks over time. This course explores the key methodologies outlined in ASME BPVC VIII-2 for fatigue assessment and compliance checks.

Key topics include:
Understanding fatigue failure and the initiation of micro-cracks
Overview of fatigue assessment methods
Method A: Smooth bar method
Method B: Welded curve method

Through this course, participants will develop the skills to evaluate fatigue behavior and apply the appropriate assessment techniques, ensuring reliable pressure vessel performance over its operational lifespan.
