RDM02
Material Resistance and Sizing Level 2
Use the advanced notions of strength of materials to check the resistance of structures to
buckling and fatigue phenomena.
Objectives:
Upon completion of the training, the attendants will be able to carry out the following:
- Identify the structures to be calculated and build a complete model of the structure
- Use RDM calculation methods for the sizing or verification of complete structures
- Search the sizing quantities (restraint, deformations, displacement) for the main “ruin modes” in the elements of the structure, produce a calculation note of the complete structure
- Evaluate the service life of the complete structure
- Check fatigue behaviour of welded joints and structural elements.
Date:
TBA
Time:
Pre-requisites:
Participants must possess an engineering diploma level with experience in the application of the RDM rules or have attended Reference RDM01 course – Basic Applications.
Pedagogical Means:
Alternating theory and practice, including case studies. Please bring along a scientific calculator.
Who should attend:
The course is designed for Engineering Technicians, Engineers, Consultants, Inspectors from Operations and Maintenance Services applicable to all industries.
Course outline:
- Revision of the basis of the RDM
- The hyperstatic systems:
- energy method
- force method
- applications
- General introduction to fatigue
- Dimensioning of structures subjected to fatigue solicitations uniaxial
- Case study in uniaxial fatigue
- Calculation of structures subject to buckling: case of beams
- Dimensioning of welded joints subject to loads of tired
- Calculation of plates and shells by RDM
Some of the examples will be illustrated with the use of finite element software (CASTER) for RDM calculation.
After the training, an examination is available for the participants via the internet.
It is based on a set of questions covering the essential points of the training with answers are supported by course reminders. A copy of this document may be saved and retained by the trainees.
