Course Overview

The Fatigue and Damage Tolerance Evaluation course offered by AeroSIFT is a structured, application-focused program that covers the full lifecycle of fatigue and damage tolerance assessment in aircraft structures.

Delivered across five progressive modules, the course integrates fatigue crack initiation, load spectrum development, residual strength, crack propagation, and real-world certification and maintenance case studies.

Emphasis is placed on bridging theory with practice through approximately 50 guided exercises and case studies, enabling learners to apply concepts such as S–N curves, cumulative damage, stress intensity factors, fracture mechanics, regulatory compliance (FAR/CS 25.571), and inspection planning in realistic aerospace design and certification scenarios.

FAQ

This course is suitable for: Aerospace structural engineers working in stress analysis, fatigue, fracture mechanics, or damage tolerance. Early-to-mid-career engineers seeking practical, industry-relevant grounding in F&DT beyond academic theory. Certification and airworthiness engineers involved in compliance with civil or military fatigue and damage tolerance requirements. Maintenance, repair, and sustainment engineers responsible for inspection programs, life management, and continued airworthiness. Graduate engineers or MSc/PhD students in aerospace or mechanical engineering who want exposure to applied fatigue and fracture evaluation methods. Industry professionals transitioning into aircraft structures or damage tolerance roles, especially within design organizations, OEMs, or MROs.

Over the past seven years, I have had the pleasure of attending two of his training courses, as well as working with him on several projects. The courses were extremely well structured and delivered, with content that was both technically thorough and easy to follow. As a trainer, he is patient, highly knowledgeable, and able to engage and teach people at all levels, from apprentices to those with many years of industry experience. Lisa Chambers BEng CEng MRAeS

For those who want to enter the minefield of Fatigue and Damage Tolerance, this is the perfect course as it removes the myth of need of a tool to do F&DT but instead focusses on basics.
