in engineering applications.
- Should have knowledge about models for analysis of fatigue i.e.
models for crack growth and influence of loading sequences.

qualitative analysis of stress intensity factors.
- Should understand the crack driving force based on energy
analysis.
- Should understand the influence of plasticity in the fracture
process.
- Should understand the basic models for crack growth.
- Should understand different scenarios in fatigue analysis e.g.
stress or strain driven, low- or high cycle fatigue.

Kompetencer
Competencies
- Should be able to participate in analysis of risk of fracture
in engineering structures and in a dialog on structural
modifications in order to reduce the risk of fracture.
- Should be able to model, calculate and communicate fatigue
analysis of welded structures and participate in a dialog of
fatigue analysis of other structural components.
