Are there any online courses for fatigue and fracture?

Submitted by g.r.namratha@g… on Sun, 04/06/2014 - 16:38

I have seen many lecture notes on general topics like stress, strain, tensor etc..

But, I am more interested in learning about fatigue and fracture mechanics.

Please let me know, if there are any online courses, for the above given topics.

Thanks,

Namratha.

iMechanica page Lecture Notes lists several sets of online notes on fracture mechanics.

ILTOF project

Dear Namratha,

For fracture mechanics, you can try ILTOF online course (see www.iltof.org), which is free.

There's nothing like that in fatigue as far as I know. You can try to pick the tiny bits in Prof. Socie's www.efatigue.com, but it's a quick glance only.

Good luck in your search.
