Czech Society for Mechanics in cooperation with CTU in Prague and Evektor spol. s r. o.
cordially invite you to
Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2008 & The 2nd PragTic Users' Meeting
Kamenice nad Lipou, Hotel U Lipy, Czech Republic
October 29-31, 2008
PragTic: The freeware tool focused on a fatigue analysis based on FEM-data.
You can find more details concerning this project on
http://www.pragtic.com, where the program can be downloaded.
Goals of the meeting:
- Providing basic know-how on fatigue damage evaluation on mechanical parts
to designers and computational analysts.
- Description of methods used for assessing the cyclic service loading
under simple and complex loading.
- Introducing PragTic and presenting his ability to serve as a post-processor
of a FEA including shows of solved examples in order to find new persons and companies
interested in its use and further development.
Realization:
Day 1 - Courses related to basics of fatigue phenomenon, to analysis of input parameters and their effect on fatigue life;
review of available commercial tools (lecturers: Prof. Milan Růžička, CSc. and Ing. Jan Papuga, Ph.D. - CTU in Prague and others)
Day 2 - A series of courses related to methods of mechanical parts design as regards their endurance to fatigue damaging;
survey of uniaxial and multiaxial solutions implemented in commercial tools and PragTic
(lecturers: Prof. Milan Růžička, CSc. and Ing. Jan Papuga, Ph.D. - CTU in Prague and others)
Day 3 - PragTic, its inputs and outputs, user environment, limits, presentation of cases of a typical use
(lecturer: Ing. Jan Papuga, Ph.D.)
Language: The English language is the official language of lectures. The most
important parts of the lectures will be repeated in the Czech language as well.
Application: Interested persons can register on the webpage
Application.
Attendance fee: Details concerning the payment of the attendance fee
are presented in the section Payment. It includes accommodation, full board,
a CD-ROM with presentations and the attendance itself. The fee is set in two versions:
- Day 1-3: 100 Euro (paid before Sep 10, 2008) or 125 Euro (paid after this term)
- Day 2-3: 75 Euro (paid before Sep 10, 2008) or 100 Euro (paid after this term)
Further details:
- Contact: Ing. Jan Papuga, Ph.D.: tel. +420 737 977 741, e-mail:
papuga@pragtic.com, skype: pragtic
- You can also download the official invitation.
- You can download a preliminary time schedule here.
- In comparison to the previous meeting, more emphasis will be placed on the summary of basic facts
on fatigue analysis of cyclic loading (Day1), on methods used for uniaxial and multiaxial analyses
in commercial tools (Day 2) and on the presentation of PragTic features (Day 3).
- The PragTic sessions will be organized as a show with exemplary problems,
explanation of PragTic functionality and available computational schemes. The
scope of the lectures does not allow individual focused training in the use of PragTic.
- The training lessons for the real use of PragTic will be organized after the
2nd PragTic Users' Meeting according to the actual demand. The first term available
will be immediately after the conference - Oct 31, afternoon. The number of course
attendants is limited to 8 persons, thus contact us on papuga@pragtic.com as soon as
possible if you are interested in it.
- Hot News: The section Payment now describes the payment
conditions also for accompanying persons. There is no specific social program organized for them,
Kamenice nad Lipou is nevertheless a very pleasant town placed into a beautiful countryside.
- Hot News: Except for Winlife and LMS.Virtual Lab Component Durability,
a third commercial software - DesignLife produced by nCode - will be presented to the participants.
Current number of participants: 55
