SUBSCRIBER LOG IN

Learning Outcome

Following completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Apply the stress-life analysis approach to predict the fatigue life of structures that deform in the linear material range.
  • Apply powerful material mapping, load mapping, and duty cycle techniques to create accurate and realistic models of complicated fatigue scenarios.
  • Apply the strain-life analysis approach to predict the fatigue life of structures that deform in the nonlinear material range.
