Practice-oriented module: Putting theory into practice

Benefit from practical exercises, illustrative examples, and in-depth expert knowledge to take your skills to the next level!

In this practice-based module, you will directly apply the knowledge you have acquired to practical applications and deepen your skills in the calculation and strength assessment of shafts and axles. Make targeted use of common standards such as DIN 743 and the FKM Guideline to perform reliable and efficient strength assessments, using real-world examples and practical tasks.

Find out how you can sustainably improve the fatigue strength of shafts and axles using established and advanced calculation and verification methods based on the latest FVA research results. Learn the practical application of calculation techniques specifically tailored to complex and highly stressed components under the guidance of qualified experts.

This practice module enables you to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world tasks and expand your expertise in the field of strength verification in a targeted manner. Take advantage of this opportunity to deepen your understanding of various assessment methods and master their practical application in your projects - a must for anyone who wants to design shafts and axles in a safe and future-oriented manner.

The corresponding theory-based online seminar to this practice-based module is being offered on 04 & 05.09.2025.

Target audience

This seminar is intended for design, development, and calculation specialists who are involved in the design of shafts and axles, with benefits for both engineers and experienced technical specialists in these areas.

Main topics

  • Overview: Strength assessments in practice

  • Calculation tools and software

  • Hands-on exercises with DIN 743 and the FKM Guideline

  • Practical examples for implementing complex calculations

Objectives

After completing the entire seminar (including the associated online seminar), you will be able to:

  • Perform mathematical strength assessments for your own shafts.

  • Select the appropriate method for the application.

  • Understand the current state of technology and research and apply it.
