Course (certified) on Tech Diplomacy

As an introductory course, the program is focused on the essential concepts and analytical methods of fracture mechanics, providing a practical understanding of fatigue and fracture calculations. Related subjects such as damage tolerance analysis and risk-based reliability will also be discussed. The main topics of the course are: – Assumptions and limitations of fracture mechanics – Material selection for fatigue and fracture resistance – How to perform simple to moderately complex fracture mechanics calculations – Standard procedures for cracking processes evaluation and failure analysis.
