A state of the art perspective of how practical fatigue calculations are implemented within computer based environments. Alternative environments will be available including Patran, MSC Nastran (from 2013 onwards) and non-product based (Microsoft Excel and command prompt driven).This course will include numerous hands-on fatigue exercises as well as fully computerized approaches.
Pre-requisites :
The course will give a basic overview of the methods – but from a quite unconventional perspective (concept rather than equation driven). So no prior knowledge of fatigue analysis techniques or dynamics is required. The latest fundamental developments (theories and implementations) in the field will also be presented.
