Fatigue and Fracture (Structural Integrity)
- Introduction to fatigue and fracture, emphasizing design and assessment methods. Illuminates crack/flaw analysis importance in structural safety. Gain deep understanding of fracture mechanics results and criteria. Learn material selection for fatigue and fracture resistance. Introduces Engineering critical assessment and Fitness for service assessments.
Overview
The Fatigue and Fracture Training Course provides an in-depth exploration of fatigue and fracture principles in engineering. Attendees will learn about current design and assessment methods, crack/flaw analysis, fracture mechanics, material selection, and codified procedures for flaw evaluation. The course is designed for engineers and scientists working with onshore and offshore structures. Topics covered include stress intensity factor, fracture toughness, and the BS 7910 methodology. The course is a 2-day program offered in various locations in the UK.
Who should attend
Engineers, Scientists
Course Content
ABOUT THE COURSE
Following a general introduction to fatigue and fracture, with examples of service failures, current and developing fatigue design and assessment methods will be described. The course will go on to explain the importance of crack/flaw analysis in structural design and safety assessment and illuminate its wide range of applicability. It will give a deep understanding of the major results and criteria underpinning modern fracture mechanics, the assumptions behind them and important limitations. Attendees will gain a better understanding of material selection for fatigue and fracture resistance and learn about codified procedures for flaw evaluation.
The course will introduce fundamental concepts of Engineering critical assessment / Fitness for service assessments; from stress intensity factor, CTOD and J-integral to methods of measuring and calculating fracture toughness for use in the ECA assessment. The fracture and fatigue crack growth assessment methodology of BS 7910 shall be presented and illustrated with examples
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers and scientists involved in the design, operation and assessment of both onshore and offshore structures.
