Aim:
The aim of the course is to give the student
- a basic understanding of the effect cracks and cyclic loading may have on the life of a design
- a basic theoretical knowledge in fracture mechanics
- a basic theoretical knowledge in classic fatigue theory (HCF och LCF)
- an insight in Finite Element-based life analysis and its industrial use
- the ability to independently solve not too advanced problems of the above type analytically and by using an FE-program.
At the end of the course, the student shall be able to
- account for the theoretical basis of Fracture Mechanics and basic classic fatigue theory (HCF och LCF)
- solve not too advanced problems of the above type analytically and by using an FE-program
- give an account of how life analysis is used in the modern design process
