Modulets indhold, forløb og pædagogik

Students who complete the module:

Læringsmål

Viden

  • Have gained a comprehensive understanding of fracture mechanics.
  • Have gained knowledge in applying classical methods in designing against fatigue fracture by studying notches and their effect, by studying strainfatigue, and by analysing eigen-stress states.
  • Have gained an understanding of how to apply fracture mechanics in the assessment of reliability of practical designs and machine elements.

Færdigheder

  • Be able to assess the stability of cracks using Griffith’s and Irwin’s fracture criteria, energy release rate, and toughness concepts.
  • Be able to apply linear elastic solutions for sharp cracks and obtain the stress intensity factor.
  • Be able to assess mixed mode loading and apply crack growth direction hypotheses.
  • Be able to assess crack growth by fatigue, partial damage and load spectra.
  • Be able to assess crack initiation, notches and their effect.
  • Be able to determine life time and apply methods for improving the fatigue strength and life time of machine elements and welded details.

Kompetencer

  • Be able to understand and apply linear elastic concepts in assessing the stability of cracked structures under static and fatigue loading.
  • Be able to distinguish between different fatigue regimes, i.e. elastic or plastic, and un-cracked or pre-cracked, and apply correct methodology to each case in relevant structures.
  • Be able to determine the lifetime of welded components, and explain fatigue in welded components on the basis of fracture mechanical concepts.
