Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme: Material and Structural Integrity Aspects

Academic Year 2023/24

VDC002 course is part of 1 study plan

​ Elective Courses Summer Semester

The aim of the program is to familiarize students with the selected material and structural aspects – in particular describe material behaviour, methods of measurement of materials properties (including fracture and fatigue) and materials application on civil engineering area. 

1. Introduction to mechanics of material, theory of materials failures

2. Linear elastic fracture mechanics – energy/stress approach

3. Fracture parameters of material.

4. Methods for determination of fracture parameters, function of geometry

5. Fatigue properties of materials

6. Fatigue lifetime prediction – analytical tutorial

7. Numerical analysis in fatigue and fracture

8. Technical excursion on selected fatigue loaded construction

9. Fatigue and fracture testing-tricks and tips from laboratories
