After successful completion of the course, students are able to
1) lifetime calculations of different (also welded) components made of different materials and under different operating conditions according to the FKM guideline of the VDMA,
2) and to provide evidence of durability, time and durability under this Directive.
3) Students are able to incorporate the economic benefits of LD calculations into the in-house discussion.
1_General introduction: various evaluation guidelines, application areas, technical and economic significance
2_Types of dynamic loads and load spectra, operational levels, statistical considerations, failure frequency;
3_Life life calculation of components and welds according to the FKM guideline of the VDMA, both with the aid of analytically determined strains or stresses as well as on the basis of FE data,
4_Conversions in practice for different materials and sufficient application examples.
