About this course
Course overview
The final core CSWE-S topics: fatigue life prediction from static results and design studies for optimization. We cover S-N curves, mean-stress correction (Goodman, Soderberg, Gerber), constant and variable amplitude loading, sensor-driven design studies, and when SOLIDWORKS optimization is the right tool versus a topology hand-off.
Curriculum
What you'll cover
Fatigue Analysis
S-N curves, mean-stress correction (Goodman, Soderberg, Gerber), constant and variable amplitude loading, and reading fatigue life and damage plots.
Design Studies & Optimization
Sensor-driven goals and constraints, design-of-experiments studies, topology hand-off, and when SOLIDWORKS optimization is the right tool.
Outcomes
By the end you'll be able to
- Predict fatigue life from static results with the correct mean-stress method
- Run design studies that produce defensible optimization decisions
- Choose between parametric optimization, design-of-experiments, and topology
