General

Aim

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

Contents

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.
