Dynamics and Machine Design

• Design of machine elements, bolted and welded joints for dynamic loading.
• Lateral and torsional buckling.
• Fracture mechanics.
• Damage-tolerant design.
• Improvement of life span of the constructions.

The candidate understands how to use the mechanical properties of steel as construction material. The candidate can define the design limit states. The candidate has knowledge of the design of dynamically loaded constructions due to fracture and fatigue. The candidate has an understanding of design methods based on the S-N-curves and damage-tolerant design.
