Course objectives:

The fundamentals of fatigue strength of structures are presented. Crack initiation phase, crack propagation phase and fracture as a final consequence, are considered as a part of the total fatigue life of a structure subjected to cyclic loading. Damage tolerance analysis as the base for fracture control is discussed

Student responsibilities:

Attending the lectures and exercises.
