Summary
The students will be informed with the principles of Linear elastic and Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics and Low and High cycle fatigue.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Teach a students the basic procedures for solving of ground technical problems from fracture of cracked members and fatigue of materials. Ensure understanding of teaching problems. To learn the students if they can apply gained theoretical peaces of knowledge in praxis.
