Fatigue: Part 2

Covers normalized fatigue curves, bolted and riveted joints, and geometric parameters influencing fatigue.

Fatigue in Welded Joints

Discusses the 'hot-spot' method for evaluating fatigue in welded joints and the influence of weld type, shape, length, and thickness on fatigue resistance.

Mechanics of Fracture: Introduction and Applications

Explores fracture mechanics, fatigue testing, and material toughness, emphasizing real-world applications and the importance of understanding critical stress intensity factors.

Fracture Mechanics: Elliptical Cracks

Analyzes elliptical cracks in materials under different loading modes and discusses the influence of stress state and material toughness.

Fatigue Life Calculations in Metal Structures

Covers fatigue life calculations, crack development stages, thickness effects, and propagation laws in metal structures.
