We have a new course called 'An introduction to Fatigue' This is a one day 
course which takes the delegate through the principles of metal fatigue. 
This course has been designed for mechanical engineers who have to 
design metallic components, parts and structures. 

       What is fatigue?
       Why is fatigue important
       History of fatigue
       The rotating beam experiment and the S-N curve
       Concept of Endurance Strength
       High and low cycle fatigue
       Non ferrous metals e.g. Aluminium
       Endurance strength modifying factors
       Fully reversed vs. offset mean strength
       The Goodman diagram and its construction.
       Von Mises Vs principal stress
       EFR stress
       Miners rule 
       Rainflow cycle counting
       Design for fatigue
       Stress and Strength interference
       Thermal fatigue
       Fatigue of Welds
       Notable fatigue failures
       Tools and how to use them
       Making sense of random data
       Practical demonstration
       Case studies
