Course content
Basic concepts. Stochastic load processes. Materiál fatigue. Fatigue materiál characteristics. Fatigue curves. Fatigue cumulative damage. Methods of theoretic lifetime estimation. Linear hypotheses of fatigue cumulative damage. Other hypotheses of lifetime estimation. Traffic loads of constructions. Strain gauge measurements. Experimental approaches to obtaining of fatigue material characteristics. Experiments on dynamic test stands. Summary of discussed topics.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Skills training
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to introduce students with current applied procedures of dynamic strength classification in the field of steel construction and to teach them methods of lifetime assessments.
After graduation students are able to use (theoretical and practical) methods of lifetime assessment of vehicles construction.
Prerequisites
The subject enrolment for Erasmus students is possible only after approval of the tutor/guarantor of the subject based on a proof of previously taken subjects and their content.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

During semester students have to demonstrate (at exercises and at final examination) their understanding of topic sense and that they are able to solve exercises on subject matters independently. Teacher tells students concrete requirements at the beginning of semester.
