Evaluation of the Workshop
In order to get some feedback from the participants about the meeting and the lectures, we asked them to fill our questionnaires anonymously. They could select values in between the 1 (awful) to 10 (magnificient). The overall statistic evaluations is provided here:
The more detailed evaluation in individual evaluated sections can be analyzed here below. Note that the fonts in italics are comments of me (Jan Papuga) as the chairman and manager of the conference.
| Values stated: Average mark/Number of evaluations | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day | Lecturer: Lecture | Slides | Show | Comprehensibility | Gained knowledge | Importance of the topic |
| 1 | D. Quaranta: Damage Tolerant Design | 9.7/15 | 9.7/15 | 9.4/15 | 8.9/15 | 9.3/15 |
| Comments: | Very informative but it would be good to know why different structures need to be designed in safe-life, fail-safe instead of DT, any challenges in DT design?
Excellent | |||||
| D. Quaranta: LEFM | 9.7/15 | 9.5/15 | 9.7/15 | 9.1/15 | 9.3/15 | |
| Comments: | Tough but interesting | |||||
| D. Quaranta: Crack Growth Models | 9.6/15 | 9.5/15 | 9.3/15 | 8.5/15 | 9.0/15 | |
| Comments: | It would be nice to see more on Part 3 and Part 4, maybe a shorter time for Part 2?
Obsolete FEM elements but OK for describing the method | |||||
| D. Quaranta: DT Special Topics | 9.6/15 | 9.7/15 | 9.3/15 | 9.1/15 | 8.9/15 | |
| Comments: | Practical examples would be benefical I solved many doubts I had about welded joints Too hard for me. I dont have good basic knowledge | |||||

| Comments: | Can we have notes prior to talks? PDF versions of examples shown? But very nice to see procedures & guideline demonstration. JP: My apology, I really underestimated the importance of the solved cases - they belonged to the printouts for sure. | |||||
Any futher notes
- I recommend to have the final part of the workshop always dedicated to the explanation, and discussion of the PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION of relevant problem
- Thanks for nice organisation :-)
- Looking forward for next seminar :-)
- For online attendance, qualitative and high-level format and realization
Next recommended topics
- Thermo-mechanical fatigue; or just creep life
- Material testing for fracture mechanics properties
- Elasto-plastic fracture mechanic approaches and application (short crack, large plasticity)
Meeting Organization
The meeting itself was rated separately, and the results are provided here:
| Values stated: Average mark/Number of evaluations | ||
|---|---|---|
| Information before meeting | Mark: | 9.3/15 |
| Comments: | * PDFs were first downloadable in developer mode of google chrome. Indeed, the latest changes in website creation and management do not favour old HTML/PhP dinosaurs like me, and I should find some new technology how to provide the information only to registered participants | |
| Realization on-site, location | Mark: | 9.6/14 |
| Comments: | * The signs to the room are a bit small
* Well-organized * Put more signs that would help to find the location of the conference. Indeed, this is an important point if we use the same location next year. In the commonly used building on Karlovo namesti, the signs would be appropriate, but there are so many other advertisement in Dejvice building that our signs could be hard to locate. | |
| Room, equipment | Mark: | 9.9/14 |
| Comments: | * Nice and quiet location, personally I prefer this location to Karlovo namesti (where it was originally planned). Appreciated food served in the room. Bit too low temperature. | |
| Meals | Mark: | 9.8/14 |
| Comments: | * Very good service | |
| Social evening | Mark: | 9.9/8 |
| Comments: | * Keep in mind it is important to plan some activity after termination of the lecture and before the social evening. Well, though readied only once somebody requested what to do before the social evening starts, I invited you all to hear about the fascinating FABER Action :-) in that free time. Otherwise - I believe that for the price paid you got quite a complete service, I do not assume we are responsible for all the time you spent in Prague. | |
