Fatigue

About this programme

This course can be followed digitally and/or physically and covers fatigue theory, experimental planning and engineering fatigue design using FEA. Lectures and Home assignments on: Fatigue design, fatigue of welded structures, fatigue of 3D printed parts, Environmental effects on fatigue and fatigue crack growth.

Please note: all information from the Course syllabus is available on this page in an accessible format. The course is based on theory and observations on the onset of fatigue. The focus is on engineering methods for assessing the fatigue risk and compuation of expected life, including the impact of the environment. The course purpose is for the participants to understand the onset of fatigue, the damage process for fatigue, be able to use different tools and methods to design against fatigue, determine the risk for failure and determine the expected component life. The course SE1025 FEM for engineering applications or a course with som content on the finite element method, CAD or computer aided design is a good background but no requirement. Basic course in probability and statistics is good. Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability. The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
