This self-guided digital short course uses helpful visuals, narrated animations, and interactive quizzes to teach fatigue failure, fracture due to cyclic stresses or strains below the tensile strength. Fatigue is among the most common causes of failure. Fatigue failure occurs because loading conditions are too severe, the component geometry is inappropriate, or the material or material condition is inappropriate.
WHO SHOULD ENROLL:
- Failure Analysts
- Design Engineers
- Technicians
- Process Engineers
- QA Managers
- Product Development Specialists
Course Learning Objectives:

- Define the term fatigue and explain the various types of fatigue
- Distinguish between traditional and contemporary fatigue testing
- List and describe the different stages of fatigue
- Correlate fatigue strength with hardness
- Explain the important variables affecting fatigue
- Detail fatigue fractographic features
