Design for Fatigue Analysis (Ohio Timed & Monitored Video)
Credit: 4 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: William Thomas, PhD, P.E.
In Design for Fatigue Analysis , you'll learn ...
- How to design materials for cyclic loading conditions
- How to avoid fatigue failure and accomplish infinite fatigue life
- Advanced fatigue conditions including multi-axial stresses, random environmental loading, and non-proportional loading
Overview
 
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 230 minutes has been met.

Duration: 230 minutes
In this course, you will learn the process of designing materials for cyclic loading. We will cover the application of basic material properties from standard fatigue to guide your designs, specifically when designing against fatigue failure and for infinite fatigue life. Additionally, you will learn how to take the laboratory results and adjust them for real-world operating conditions.
You will learn how to apply the load resistance approach to the problem of fatigue by using the concept of Marin factors, and how they account for their impact on fatigue resistance, including surface finish, stress distribution, size effects, temperature, reliability, corrosion, and residual stresses.
The geometric effect of stress concentration factors on the stress distribution in real-world components will be reviewed, as well as the management of multi-axial stresses in cycling loading.
Next, the complexity of loading history will be outlined with focus given to the effect of mean stress. Also, the evaluation of random loading using environmental loads such as wind, sea waves, and ocean currents will be shown. Finally, we will review the evaluation of high-frequency vibrations.
This video is a recording of a live webinar training session. As a recording of a live event, you will hear the discussion that occurred between the instructor and those who attended this webinar.
