Day 1 – Tuesday, 4 November

Session 1: Fatigue crack growth – introduction, theory, and testing


Session 2: Fatigue crack growth – characterisation, threshold, and WholeLife



Day 2 – Tuesday, 11 November

Session 3: Fatigue at elevated temperature


Session 4: Reliability modelling and shaker testing



Day 3 – Tuesday, 18 November

Session 5: Reliability data models


Session 6: Fatigue test data management and structural health monitoring


Each session offers practical insights, covering topics such as fatigue testing and prediction, smart testing to integrate physical and virtual testing, advanced reliability modelling, and real-world structural health monitoring solutions.

Andrew Halfpenny, Director of Technology, nCode Products, and Rob Plaskitt, Application Engineer, Durability and Event Organiser, stated, “This event, now in its 6th year online, and these sessions, have been built to provide engineers with practical tools they can apply directly to their work – from in-depth fatigue topics and reliability subjects, to managing the huge quantities of data they generate. It is a collaborative event where engineers and innovators can come together to share ideas, tackle challenges, and help to shape the future of durable, reliable, and sustainable engineering. We want participants to feel they have learned something.”
