WCFA'18-FKM
Programme of the Workshop
The course is built in such a way, that no prior knowledge on fatigue analysis is needed. The basic principles
of the common fatigue damage estimation are described in the first day,
while the content related to the fatigue analysis of weldments is extensively discussed in next two days.
In order to better suit the needs of participants and to fit the course better to the level of their knowledge,
several variants of the course are provided as shown in the table below.
The complete programme can be downloaded here as a pdf file.
Introduction to Fatigue
This part is covered in variants: Introduction to Fatigue (V1), Fatigue of Non-Welded Components (V4), Complete Course (V5).
