Fatigue of Structures

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 material 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.

The fatigue behavior of structures is determined by three aspects: Loads, material and geometry. In this course the significance of all three aspects are discussed.

It is obvious that there are many aspects that affect the resistance of a structure against fatigue. Managing and preventing problems due to fatigue should be considered as a key capability of a structural engineer. The course “Fatigue of Structures” has been designed and developed to meet the needs of structural engineers in designing, analyzing and maintaining structures. It presents the basic fundamentals of high cycle fatigue, as well as practical methods and case studies for meeting the durability of structures.

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

The seminar will be organized by INVENTUM GmbH, Bonn.

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).
