Principles of Fatigue AnalysisCourses on Fatigue and FEA
By Dr. Neil Bishop(Author of the NAFEMS Book, Finite Element Based Fatigue Calculations)
NAS319A Day 1 – Fatigue & CAE Integration A state of the art view of CAE based fatigue, durability and damage tolerance calculations will be presented with a particular emphasis on conceptual behaviour.
NAS319B Day 2 – Fatigue & Dynamics The Reliability of Vibrating Systems A state of the art view of fatigue calculations for dynamic systems and vibration environments (such as that defined in military standard MIL-STD-810).
NAS319C Day 3 – Practical Implementation of Fatigue Methods with Computers A state of the art perspective of how practical fatigue calculations are implemented within computer based environments. Alternative environments will be available including Patran, Nastran (from 2013 onwards) and non product based (excel and command prompt driven).

Who should attend: The course is aimed at both FEA stress analysts wanting to become proficient with fatigue life estimation techniques, and fatigue analysts wishing to perform reliability calculations from FEA results. The course is an ideal introduction for those with no previous experience of fatigue analysis. It may also serve as a good refresher for those who perhaps covered the subject at university but have not, as yet, had the opportunity to use it in practice.

Instructor Background: Dr. Neil Bishop has been teaching fatigue life estimation techniques and dynamics to undergraduates, postgraduates and design engineers for the last 20 years. His teaching style reflects the philosophy that fatigue life estimation techniques (and FEA) should be accessible to all design engineers, not just the specialists.
Dr Bishop also has a vast experience of industrial problems, and solutions, through his (worldwide) experiences with major automotive, aerospace, and other major industrial companies. He recently co-authored the NAFEMS publication “Finite Element Based Fatigue Calculations”. He recently directed an R&D project for the US Air Force dealing with acoustic fatigue.
Course Vision Course Outline
These courses aim to present the theories related
to fatigue analysis and dynamics using conceptual
rather than equation based material. The courses
are GUI and product neutral, so although MSC
products will be used to show example problems
the course material will be independent of any
software products and generally focused on the
technology rather than specific software products.
NAS319A, B and C are self contained courses and
can be taken individually or as a set.
•This course will provide both concepts of fatigue damage and the means for you to apply fatigue analysis to your job.
•The audience will find it valuable regardless of the finite element analysis code that they use.
•No prior knowledge of fatigue analysis is required.
•Engineers who already do fatigue analysis and those who need to understand fatigue analysis will benefit.
•Attending this course will allow you to develop more durable and reliable products.
