Summary
This subject adds education of dimensioning of dynamic stressed machine parts.
Students learn about fatigue properties of materials of some machine parts, with characteristic working loads and with methods of determine the life.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Make students acquainted with basic principles and design methods of a cyclic loading mechanical parts in light of infinity or time fatique.
