Description
-
Type
Short course
It presents the basic fundamentals of fatigue and fracture mechanics, as well as practical methods and case studies for meeting the durability and damage tolerance requirements. The course consists of two main parts. Part 1 presents the basic theories of fatigue analysis and fracture mechanics, which is also suitable to automotive and civil engineers. Part 2 is designed to enhance the learning objectives offering specialist topics and case studies and exploring in greater depth. The course is focused on the metallic aircraft structures with a session being devoted to the comparison of fatigue damage modes of fibrous composites with metals.
