Durability and Fatigue Seminars Coming to Midwest
ITI Manta, a subsidiary of International TechneGroup Incorporated (ITI), announces a series of Fatigue and Durability seminars to be held in Greater Cincinnati on October 11 - 15 and the Toldeo / Detroit Metro area on November 8 - 12, 2004.
Courses provide basic and advanced introduction to modern theories of fatigue and their practical application. Attendees will learn about material stress / fatigue, optimizing designs to reduce fatigue, and technologies available to analyze models predicting areas of concern.
Professor John Draper of Safe Technology (United Kingdom) will be the instructor. Professor Draper has over 25 years experience in fatigue design and fatigue life assessment in the aerospace and ground-vehicle industries. He is a recognized authority in the industry, and a regular presenter at conferences and seminars worldwide-Including conferences for ABAQUS and ANSYS users around the world, the ASTM Symposium on Residual Stress Effects on Fatigue and Fracture Testing, and more. Professor Draper is the Chairman of the Engineering Integrity Society in the UK and a member of the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).
Durability by Design
Date: October 11 (Cincinnati)
November 8 (Toledo/Detroit)
Fee: No charge
This seminar is designed to illustrate problems that can now be solved using durability analysis software for FEA models. A technology update in key areas of fatigue analysis such as multiaxial fatigue, effects of temperature, notch sensitivity and residual stresses will be provided.
The seminar will cover:
An introduction to modern methods of metal fatigue analysis
Theory overview of uniaxial & multiaxial fatigue
Case studies & tools demonstrations
An introduction to using fe-safe with FE software
Highlights of advanced and unique capabilities in fe-safe such as a fully integrated signal processing capability, high temperature and creep fatigue, fe-rotate, analysis of complex loading histories
Fundamentals of Modern Metal Fatigue Analysis
Date: October 12-13 (Cincinnati)
November 9-10 (Toledo/Detroit)
Fee: $595 (attend all 4 Modern Metal Fatigue Analysis days for $995)
Design and Test Engineers responsible for product durability in the ground vehicle, aerospace and manufacturing industries should attend. No previous knowledge of fatigue is necessary.
The seminar will cover:
Introduction to fatigue
Local stress-strain fatigue
Materials data
Signal analysis for fatigue
Using stress-life data
Examples of fatigue failures & fatigue tests
Geometric effects
Fatigue analysis in practice
Advanced Modern Metal Fatigue Analysis
Date: October 14-15 (Cincinnati)
November 11-12 (Toledo/Detroit)
Fee: $595 (attend for all 4 Modern Metal Fatigue Analysis days for $995)
Design Engineers responsible for product durability in the ground vehicle, aerospace and manufacturing industries should attend. A basic knowledge of fatigue or attendance in the "Fundamentals of Modern Metal Fatigue Analysis" listed above is recommended.
The seminar will cover:
Introduction to biaxial fatigue
Biaxial fatigue using equivalent stress/strain
Critical plane analysis
Fatigue lives from finite element models
Statistics & reliability
Crack growth analysis
Fatigue of welded joints
Fatigue lives from the PSD
Fatigue test & design
Additional advanced topics
