(TS3) CA23109 Training School: Low-Cycle Fatigue and Cyclic Plasticity
Preparing for the FABEST LCF Competition: Data, Models, and Life Prediction
Dates: July 28–30, 2026
Venue: New Assembly Hall (UA3), VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic
Organized by: FABER COST Action (CA23109) – WG 4.7 Low-Cycle Fatigue, prof. Radim Halama.
The FABER Training School is a 3-day intensive program designed mainly for PhD students, early-career researchers, and industry professionals (participation is not limited by age). The school provides a deep dive into the experimental and numerical aspects of Low-Cycle Fatigue (LCF), with a special focus on the challenges of cyclic softening, ratcheting, and mean stress relaxation. This training is specifically designed to support participants of the FABEST LCF Competition, providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to master the competition dataset and improve their predictive models.
