Training Course Descriptions
Modern Metal Fatigue Analysis with fe-safe™
Overview:
This course offers an introduction to modern theories of metal fatigue and their practical application through worked examples and interaction/discussion. There is a strong emphasis on what is possible and the pitfalls to avoid. A professional volume of course notes forms a self-contained reference book.
Who should attend:
Design and test engineers responsible for product durability in the ground
vehicle, aerospace and manufacturing industries should attend. No previous knowledge of fatigue
is necessary.
Agenda
- Introduction to fatigue
- Local stress-strain fatigue
- Materials data
- Signal analysis for fatigue
- Using stress-life data
- Stress concentrations, stress gradient and notch sensitivity
- Why biaxial fatigue is important
- Modern biaxial fatigue methods
- Fatigue analysis from finite element models
- Statistics & reliability
- Crack growth analysis
- Fatigue of welded joints, including recent ‘local’ approaches
- Fatigue lives from the PSD
- Fatigue test & design
- Fatigue analysis in practice
Presenter
Professor John Draper of Safe Technology will be presenting the seminars
and training courses. Professor Draper has over 25 years experience in
fatigue design and fatigue life assessment in the aerospace and ground-vehicle
industries. He is a recognized authority in the industry and a regular
presenter at conferences and seminars worldwide, including conferences
for Abaqus users around the world, the ASTM Symposium on Residual Stress
Effects on Fatigue and Fracture Testing, and more. Professor Draper is
the Chairman of the Engineering Integrity Society in the UK and a member
of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).
