Special afternoon sessions

I​n the afternoons, you will have the chance the attend a number of short (app. 60 min.) educational sessions.

Introduction to Fatigue Assessment

P​rof. Yves Nadot, Prof. Carole Nadot
Institut P’, CNRS, ISAE-ENSMA, Université de Poitiers France

The objective of this course is to propose a first general introduction to fatigue design for mechanical engineers (supposed to be beginners in fatigue).

After a general introduction to fatigue questions, the presentation will focus on fatigue design against crack initiation and crack propagation in the High Cycle Fatigue regime.

A simplified case study is applied to a light aircraft component starting from real in service loading to end with the comparison with regulation needs for component replacement.

What will you learn?

• General concept and examples of fatigue failure,
• Several modelling strategies depending on the application,
• Detailed presentation of fatigue initiation criterion applied to High Cycle Fatigue,
• llustration of damage tolerant design,
• Simplified case study: variable amplitude loading design applied to light aircraft metallic component.

T​he speaker

Yves NADOT gained his PhD in fatigue of metals in 1997 at The University of Poitiers, supervised by N. Ranganathan and J. Mendez. He started to work in the field of ‘Fatigue from Defect’ since the beginning in the laboratory of Prof. J. Petit and took a full Professor position at Institute P’ ISAE-ENSMA Poitiers, FRANCE in 2010. He is the author or co-author of more than 140 publications and conference papers and supervised 30 PhD students and ‘postdoc’, most of them in the field of fatigue of metals. He leads the research group “Damage and Physics and Mechanics of Materials” and is an active contributor to the research on the defect induced fatigue process. He worked also on industrial collaboration projects with several companies (SAFRAN, Zodiac Aerospace, Renault, Airbus, Knorr-Bremse, SNCF, RR, …).
