WCFA'19-PHL

Programme of the Workshop

The course is built in such a way, that no prior knowledge on fatigue analysis is needed. The basic principles of the common fatigue damage estimation are described in the first day, while the lectures of Dr Heuler follow in next two days. In order to better suit the needs of participants and to fit the course better to the level of their knowledge, several variants of the course are provided as shown in the table below.

Monday
Dec 2, 2019
V1 - Introduction to Fatigue
M. Růžička, J. Papuga, M. Nesládek
V3 - Complete Course
Tuesday-Wednesday
Dec 3-4, 2019
V2 - Audi Experience
P. Heuler

Topics discussed in individual days follow.
