The aim of the course is to describe the physical mechanisms behind fatigue, and the methods that are used in design against fatigue.

Cyclic deformation and crack initiation. Fracture mechanisms. Fracture mechanics treatment of fatigue cracks. Fatigue crack growth in ductile and brittle materials. Short fatigue cracks. Contact fatigue. Fatigue and evironment: Corrosion fatigue and high temperature fatigue. Life estimates and dimensioning against fatigue. Fatigue testing.

be familiar with the different types of fatigue, the basic mechanisms behind fatigue and be able to use commonly accepted methods of design against fatigue.
be familiar with engineering design against fatigue.

demonstrate the ability to perform construction design against fatigue and to recognize situations and mechanisms relevant to fatigue.
