M40 - Overview of material and structural fatigue
To take into account the fatigue phenomena from the design of its parts, according to the materials used and their conditions of implementation.
Inter-company course
Educational objectives
Explain the phenomena of fatigue failure
Analyze fatigue test results
Identify factors affecting fatigue resistance
Evaluate the fatigue life of mechanical parts under cyclic loading
PROGRAM
1. The fatigue phenomenon
Definition, terminology, initiation and propagation mechanism of a fatigue crack, interpretation of fatigue diagrams
2. Exploitation of test results
Type of tests and analysis of results, low cycle fatigue, key points of a standard.
3. Design and sizing
Influencing factors:
- metallurgical parameters, geometrical parameters, mechanical parameters, environment.
Application exercise: calculation of a stepped tree.
4. Morphology of the fractured facies
Methodology Fault analysis (ADE), fatigue failure, exercise
5. Methodology in the general case of solicitations
Multiaxial dimensioning, variable amplitude dimensioning, finite element approach
6. Sizing of rotating parts
Gears, bearings
7. Fatigue of composites
Generalities, characterization of fatigue, influencing parameters
8. Fatigue of assemblies
Screwed assemblies, glued assemblies, welded assemblies
