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.
