Providing a practical understanding of fatigue and fracture calculations, this course is designed for engineers who are required to perform such calculations, or who specify or evaluate testing and draft fatigue or fracture portions of design requirements. It covers the latest methodologies such as weight functions and the failure assessment diagram (FAD) approach. Related subjects such as damage tolerance analysis, reliability, and risk-based inspection will also be discussed.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Explain the underlying assumptions and limitations of fracture mechanics.
- Describe the process for material selection for fatigue and fracture resistance.
- Explain how to perform simple to moderately complex fracture mechanics calculations.
- Identify codified procedures for flaw evaluation.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers who work with mechanical design, mechanics and structures as well as those involved in testing and equipment fabrication.
Course Materials (included in purchase of course):
Digital course notes via ASME’s Learning Platform
Supplemental Course Materials (not included with course, purchase separately)
Recommended Textbook, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, written by Ted L. Anderson (available in eBook and print formats).
Course participants are expected to have:
- Access to computer equipment and a reliable internet connection
- A calculator
- Software to display PDF files (such as Adobe Reader)
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully complete this course.
