Experimental Stress Analysis for Component Assessment

In this seminar, you will learn the fundamentals how to analyze the experimental data of actual components.

This seminar provides the theoretical and practical knowledge required for a confident experimental stress analysis, which can be used for verification of FEM models. This Master Course (Course 3) in compliance with VDI/VDE-MT 2636 (previous GESA) ideally complements Course 1 (The Basics of Strain Gauge Installation and Strain Gauge Measurement Technology) and Course 2 (Measuring with strain gauges—planning, connecting and analyzing) in this series.

Comprehensive training ranging from strain measurement through stress determination to component assessment.

Topics included

• Fundamentals of experimental stress analysis
• Systematics of stress states
• Stress-strain ratio
• General Hooke's Law
• Mohr's cycle
• Calculating principal-strain and principal-stress values
• Demonstration experiments and discussion
• Multi-axil stress states and material strenghtx
• Equivalent stresses and damage hypotheses
• How to handle residual stress?
• Anisotropic materials
• Demonstration experiments and discussion

• S-N curve, short term, static, and endurance strength
• Classifying strain data
• Determining total damage
• Durability/fatigue life prediction

Target Group

Engineers who evaluate strain measurements.

Requirements

Course 3 is a follow-up to Course 2 (Measuring with strain gauges - planning, connecting and analyzing), and therefore, completion of Course 2 is a general prerequisite. Course 1 provides the basics of strain-gauge installation and strain-gauge measurement technology. Knowledge of technical mechanics, acquired in university or through qualified further education programs, is a further prerequisite.
