	Czech Society for Mechanics under auspices of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague announces holding of the Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2019 - Paul Heuler's Lectures Karlovo náměstí 13, Prague 2 - Nové Město, Czech Republic December 2-4, 2019   After the previous volumes of the WCFA workshop (2016 – Vibration Fatigue Analysis by Neil Bishop; 2017 – Design and Fatigue of Weldments by Zuheir Barsoum and 2018 – FKM Guideline Training by Roland Rennert, we looked for the next topic, which would attract the audience of fatigue analysts in the Central Europe region. The topic had to be finished in a reasonable time, the lecturer not only experienced, but also able to talk to the audience. We decided to bring to Prague some eminent personality, and the Prof Sonsino's advice came in the right moment. The reasons for selecting Dr Paul Heuler are obvious from the provided link. We can be only lucky that he retired recently and thus he got free for accepting our offer. His experience is closely linked to automotive industry, which dominates the industrial production in the Czech Republic. He anyhow also lectured at the TU München for a long time and thus the fatigue prediction issues will not concern only automotive. As usually in the case of WCFA workshops, we start with a series of introductory lectures for the first day covered by Prof Milan Růžička, Dr Jan Papuga and Dr Martin Nesládek. This part serves as a quick start for those attendants, who have no or only very limited experience with fatigue prediction. Course Options No prior knowledge on fatigue analysis is needed. The basic principles of the common fatigue damage estimation are described in the first day, to help the complete freshmen to get on board. The content lectured by Paul Heuler is provided in next one and half days (the last day will be finished after the lunch). To better fit needs of participants and to their level of fatigue knowledge, several variants of the course are provided: Monday Dec 2, 2019 Introduction to Fatigue M. Růžička, J. Papuga, M. Nesládek V1 V3 Tuesday Dec 3, 2019 Audi Experience Vol. 1 P. Heuler V2 Wednesday Dec 4, 2019 Audi Experience Vol. 2 P. Heuler Note please that the lectures in the last day will be finished before the lunch, and no afternoon session is anticipated. More detailed information about the programme can be found in the section Program. The final program will be published there during September 2019. Used Language English language is the official language of the lectures.
