STRUCTURAL DURABILITY ? COMPONENT RELATED MATERIAL
BEHAVIOUR UNDER CONSTANT AND VARIABLE AMPLITUDE LOADING

by
Prof. Dr. C.M. Sonsino
Fraunhofer-Institute for Structural Durability (LBF), Darmstadt


Summary

The aim of this lecture is to introduce advanced students to the component
related material behavior, which depends on the design, manufacturing and
service loading with constant and variable amplitudes. In practice, the
majority of the failures are caused by faults in the geometrical design
of components in connection with an insufficient balance between mechanical
loading, environment, shape, local stresses, material and manufacturing.
For this reason, service failures can most often be avoided if the principal
influencing parameters regarding the strength behavior are properly taken
into account during construction.

Based on the fundamentals of structural durability and the interplay of
the most important influencing parameters, an understanding of the problem
relating to design, selection of manufacturing technology and material,
fatigue life and reliability will be imparted by means of practical examples.
