This is the current (2/2000) description for this course, which may have changed since attending.
FRACTURE MECHANICS APPROACH TO LIFE PREDICTION
This course will provide you with a practical understanding of fatigue and fracture calculations. It is pertinent to engineers who are required to perform such calculations, or who specify or evaluate testing, and draft fatigue or fracture portions of design requirements.
BENEFITS
Become familiar with the underlying assumptions and limitations of fracture
mechanics Gain a better understanding of material selection for fatigue and
fracture resistance Learn how to perform simple to moderately complex fracture
mechanics calculations Learn about codified procedures for flaw evaluation
SPECIAL FEATURES
Receive the textbook Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications by T.L.
Anderson.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers who work with mechanical design, mechanics and structures, as well
as those involved in testing and equipment fabrication.
