Study Guide

Objective

After completing the course, students should be able to determine which phenomena in strength theory constitute a limiting factor for how much a design can be loaded. The course provides in-depth knowledge of fatigue and then deals with the instability phenomena cracking, buckling and tilting. Students should be able to independently perform basic analyzes in all of the headings in the content. They should also be able to perform more thorough fatigue analyzes for tensile / compressive, bending and torsional loads.

Content

- Fatigue and buckling
