MMT - Fatigue Behavior

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.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.
