FKM Nonlinear Training Course

Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau
/ Research Committee Mechanical Engineering

20 - 21 November 2024, online

Language: English

This seminar covers the new ”FKM-Guideline Nonlinear” for static and cyclic loading. Besides the detailed assessment procedures, background on the individual topics will be given for better understanding about the procedures. This seminar aims on newcomers in that field as well as experts interested in the concept of the guideline.
