- Conventional dimensioning and local concept via FEM
Description
Nowadays, plastics are replacing other materials such as ceramics or metals in many areas, but what are the long-term aging characteristics of plastic components? The life cycle of plastics depends on a variety of influencing factors such as heat, mechanical stress, and media, and is also greatly affected by the operating and environmental conditions of the plastic product.
In this training, you will learn how to assess and apply various concepts for fatigue and creep fracture loads on plastic. components.
You will learn the key factors that affect the service life of short fiber-reinforced and unreinforced plastics. You will understand service life assessment concepts under fatigue and creep fracture stress. You will become familiar with the application of local stress concepts to plastic components under fatigue and creep fracture stress.
This training addresses computational engineers, reliability design and product testing engineers, designers and research engineers, and anyone who wants to know more about the service life of plastics.
