In addition to materials science aspects of fatigue behaviour of metals,
the standard of knowledge on relationship between microscopic structure
and macroscopic properties is imparted. The characterization of fatigue
behaviour is performed by mechanical, thermal, electrical and magnetic
measurement techniques and transducers. Current fatigue damage
accumulation hypothesis and life time calculation approaches are
presented. All the stages of fatigue life - crack initiation, crack
propagation and final failure - are dealt with the corresponding mechanisms.
To understand and correlate the mathematical models in material fatigue
and experimental studies, finite element simulations are introduced.
Abaqus and nCode programmes are used for understanding of classical
fatigue models and promotes to develop the application-oriented models.
Tutorials are designed to simulate fatigue life of different industrial
components.
