Be sure that your shafts and axles meet the highest requirements with practical, well-founded strength assessments! In this seminar, you will learn methods and tools to precisely calculate the strength of your components and perform reliable verifications. From the basics of strength assessments, to common standard methods such as DIN 743 and the FKM Guideline, to the latest expert methods - this seminar provides in-depth insights into all relevant topics.
Highlight: Beyond an introduction to the most common calculation standards, you can also immerse yourself in the world of advanced techniques. We will give insights into the latest FVA research results and show how these expert methods can take the fatigue strength of axles and shafts to a new level. Use this knowledge to efficiently and precisely perform even the most complex calculations.
This seminar provides you with the knowledge you need to select the right verification method for your specific application at all times, whether it be design, development, or calculation. As a result, you will be ideally equipped for current challenges as well as future developments in the field of shaft design.
Attend the optional onsite module from September 10 - 11, 2025 and benefit from practical exercises with clear examples and in-depth knowledge - and take your skills to the next level!
