This online training course covers the ”FKM-Guideline Linear” for static and cyclic loading of weld seams. Besides detailed assessment procedures, background on the individual topics will be given for better understanding about the procedures. The course is aimed at newcomers in that field as well as experts interested in the concept of the guideline. Knowledge in the use of the FKM-guideline for unwelded componets is recommended but not mandatory.
An overview of the guideline
Stresses
Material data
Procedure overviews
Static strength procedure
Nominal stress concept
Local stress concept
Cyclic strength procedure
Nominal stress concept
Local stress concept
Applications
Safety margins and reserve factors, sensitivity analysis, probabilistic analysis
Examples using different concepts

FATco37 | Reflect on how variable amplitude load sequencing can affect the prediction of damage accumulation and fatigue life. |
FATap2 | Carry out elastic fatigue assessment using design standards and code guidelines for components and structures including any special procedures for ancillary components such as bolts, |
FATap3 | Modify the results of an elastic analysis for the effects of plasticity, where necessary. |
FATap5 | Use Reservoir Counting / Rainflow Method or similar to specify the necessary stress ranges, number of cycles and loading history for any component to be analysed. |
