Fatigue and Finite Element Analysis

Fatigue cracks and failures due to alternating stresses often appear unexpected and can cause a large amount of damage, human as well as material and financial (image damage and liability). The share of fatigue damages of the total amount of mechanical damages is substantial so managing fatigue related problems in an appropriate way is essential.

A fatigue failure may have different causes, such as the mat erial quality, production process and possible mistakes, structural (detail) design, erroneous use of strength and reliability analysis, underestimation of the load spectrum and abuse of the product.

It is obvious that many aspects do affect the resistance against fatigue. Managing and preventing problems due to fatigue should be considered as a key capability of a structural engineer.
FE analysis is an im portant tool for the analysis of strength of structures, not only for static strength but also for fatigue strength.
An important aspect in the is the amount on attention we are paying to the mechanics of fatigue and how to in the simulation. We are not teaching the course attendees some "tricks", we make them understand why they are doing things in a particular way.

The training provides you a flying st art with FEM based fatigue analysis. One day is spent on fatigue subjects and one day on FEM. You cannot expect to be a specialist in both fields after these two days, but you will be able to perform the most frequently used analyses. The targeted audience is engineering staff on bachelors/master level with some FEM experience and some basic knowledge of fatigue of structures.
The course is independent of FE software packages. It is assumed that the course attendees are sufficiently accustomed to the FE software they use to perform a static analysis.

Chairman of the seminar is Johannes J. Homan, M.Sc., Fatec Engineering, Bergschenhoek, The Netherlands.

Search / advanced search of the idw archives
Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
