Overview
What you will study
The Fatigue course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology purpose is for the participants to understand the onset of fatigue, the damage process for fatigue, be able to use different tools and methods to design against fatigue, determine the risk for failure and determine the expected component life.
After course completion, the participants should be able to:- understand the origin of fatigue, the damage process and the influence of environment on the process,
- identify fatigue damage compared to other failure modes,
- design against fatigue,
- quantify the risk for failure due to fatigue and
- determine the expected life of a component including the effect of environment.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Stress and strain based methods for design against fatigue at uniaxial loadings with regards to both finite life and fatigue limit.
- Design with damage accumulation at loads with variable amplitude.
- Criteria for design agains multiaxial loadings where the multiaxial loads can be proportional or non-proportional.
- Statistical methods to determine the risk of failure of a component.
- Linear fracture mechanics to determine the crack growth rates and predict the expected life of a component.
- Phenomenological identification of fatigue as the cause of failure.
- Different mechanisms for the origin of fatigue.
- Different mechanisms for environmental failures.
- Methods to include environmental effects on fatigue strength.
- Application specific forms of fatigue.
- Fatigue in different types of materials.
- Computer tools and a fatigue database for fatigue evaluation.

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
