Colin Davies

Course Manager

Through project work and failure investigations covering a wide range of metal using industries (including mining, shipbuilding, civil and structural engineering, aerospace and renewable energy devices) he has gained a sound understanding of structures and their failure mechanisms, and in particular the role of fatigue. He has previously lectured on aspects of metallurgical failure investigations for the IoM3. He is currently a Senior Technologist in the Structural Integrity group of Transport Applications Department at Corus RD&T.

Course programme

This is a one day workshop intended as an optional extension to the one day ‘Introduction to Fatigue' course. It will explore in greater detail the application of the approach in fatigue design. In addition to explaining the principles, the course will cover the provisions of several design codes, and will also include important aspects of the provision of appropriate materials data and sources of stress intensity factor solutions. There is a further optional day available: Introduction to the Strain Life Approach to Fatigue Design.

  • Welcome and Introductions
  • Introduction to Fracture Mechanics Concepts
  • SIF Solutions
  • Material Behaviour & Fatigue Crack Growth Rate Tests
  • Applications - Constant Amplitude Loading
  • Applications - Variable Loading (with interactive demonstration)
  • Design Codes & Inspection Planning

08.45-09.00hrs Registration. 17.00hrs Finish.
