5 Zoom Meetings for those interested to join FABER Action

FABER networking project is funded for next four years by the COST Association. Its goal is to solve the current deadlock in validating the metal fatigue life evaluation methods and solvers by establishing benchmark sets of curated experimental fatigue data, with the focus set on the high-cycle fatigue category above all.

FABER (Fatigue Benchmark Repository) to be funded by COST. Join us!

A dream came true, and the fifth submission of this networking project to COST Association was approved for funding.

 

It will start from November 2024 for the total duration of 4 years. The broad cooperation will focus on developing tools and data sets, which can streamline research and validation of fatigue estimation criteria.

12 days to go - WCFA2023 on FKM-Guideline Non-Linear

In a few days, our Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis starts in its new volume.

This is to remind you that those of you or of your colleagues, who would be interested in the latest enhancement of the FKM Guideline for static and fatigue analysis in the direction of non-linear analysis (encompassing both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue regimes), should apply to the workshop we organize.

Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2023 - FKM-Guideline Non-Linear

Location: Prague, Czechia

When: October 30 - November 1, 2023

Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2023 – FKM-Guideline Non-Linear

From October 30 to November 1, 2023, we hold 11th Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis in Prague, Czechia. This time, we chose the attractive topic of the latest extension of the FKM-Guideline for Analytical Strength Assessment. This guideline developed for years by FKM Association in Germany provides clear description how to deal with static and fatigue analysis of industrial components.

pyLife workshop - updated dates

 

Dear iMechanicians,

A week ago, I published a blog post here on the pyLife workshop, which had to start tomorrow. The next day, I was informed by one of the lecturers that he cannot come. I checked with all on-site participants whether we can postpone the workshop, and I organized a Doodle poll to find the optimum dates that fit to the most of registered participants. We have a result today - the workshop is shifted by two months exactly. Below you can find the original invitation with the final dates:

pyLife workshop

During next week, on September 14-15, we hold a pyLife workshop at the FME Czech Technical University in Prague, Czechia. pyLife is a Python-based open-source library built previously mostly by colleagues from Bosch to deal with the fatigue life estimation (see https://github.com/boschresearch/pylife).

Lecture by P. Yadegari on “Fatigue strength of ultra-high strength steels and surface-hardened components”

Lecture by Patrick Yadegari on “Fatigue strength of ultra-high strength steels and surface-hardened components” will be held on-line on Tuesday September 5 at 3PM CET. Its approximate duration is expected 1 hour, but it will depend on the scope of the discussion and the questions of participants. If you wish to take part, please write me to papuga@pragtic.com, so that I could send you the access link to the Zoom platform. Here is the abstract to the lecture:

1st Workshop on Thermodynamics of Fatigue Process

The workshop takes place on-line only on June 14 from 2 PM CET. It is intended to serve as a networking event, where interested researchers present their focused domain. The subsequent brainstorming will help us to evaluate whether there is a will for a broader cooperation among the participants, and if to transform this workshop into something more regular.

If you do not feel strong enough to present, you are still invited to join us - simply let me know to my e-mail address to get the access to the workshop. No fee requested.

WCFA2022-VFA workshop on Vibration Fatigue Analysis

This is the invitation to the Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2022, which is held on the important topic of Vibration Fatigue Analysis this year. Key researchers in this topic in Europe - Denis Benasciutti, Adam Nieslony, Filippo Cianetti, Janko Slavič and Massimiliano Palmieri - will summarize their knowledge and experience to the expert audience. The event takes place in few weeks, between November 14 and 16 in Prague, Czechia. If you find this location too far away from your workplace, you can use the on-line mode of the attendance.

Invitation to WCFA2018 - FKM Guideline Training

Dear iMechanicians,

I would like to invite you to the prepared 8th volume of the Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis series. The 2018 volume is dedicated to the FKM-Guideline on Strength Assessment, which covers both static and fatigue analysis of common industrial components. The key lecturer this time is Dr Roland Rennert from IMA Dresden, one of the co-authors of its last 6th revised version released in 2012.

WCFA workshop on Design and Fatigue of Weldments

This is the second announcement about the upcoming Workshop on Computational Fatigue Analysis 2017, this year dedicated to Design and Fatigue of Weldments (WCFA2017-DFW - http://www.pragtic.com/DFW.php). The workshop is held in Prague, Czech Republic in November 13-16, 2017. The key lecturer, who guides the audience through various issues of the fatigue analysis in welds, is Dr Zuheir Barsoum from KTH - Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden.

WCFA2016-VFA – Workshop on Vibration Fatigue Analysis

Dear iMechanicians,

I would like to inform you about the workshop WCFA2016-VFA, which is this year organized with the focus set on Vibration Fatigue Analysis. The workshop will be held at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic from November 8 to November 10, 2016. The introductory lessons in the first day will be presented by Prof Darrell Socie, Prof Milan Ruzicka and Dr Jan Papuga, while the main topic - Vibration Fatigue Analysis - will follow in next two days and will be covered by Dr Neil Bishop.

Postdoc position on multiaxial fatigue

A post-doc position is available at the VSB - Technical University Ostrava, Czech Republic on multiaxial fatigue. Because VSB-TUO is joint in our FADOFF project on validating multiaxial criteria (www.fadoff.cz) and development of PragTic fatigue solver (www.pragtic.com), I expect a close cooperation with the successful applicant. The deadline for an electronic application is nevertheless very close - next Monday August 20, 2012. See the brief version (http://www.pragtic.com/docu/Postdocs_VSB_brief.pdf) and full version (http://www.pragtic.com/docu/Postdocs_VSB.pdf) of the call - the position on multiaxial fatigue is K4.

op2 from MSC Marc?

Dear iMechanicians,

I wonder if anybody knows how to get an op2 file (MSC.Nastran) from MSC.Marc. Is something like that possible? Or do you know some available converter? Potentially, fil or odb file from ABAQUS or rst file from ANSYS could help as well. But I would expect there some way within the MSC product family...

Thanks a lot for any idea.

Jan Papuga
