· Concept of structural stresses based on linear finite element method (FEM) If I understand it properly then you are seeking basic concepts, like how to calculate stresses by using FEA, For this you can read any basic book, university notes. For example, the book by Robert D Cook. Search in this forum you will find other related posts too. · Static assessment based on non-linear FEM · Fatigue assessment based on stress and strain calculations · Fracture mechanics to determine crack growth Rest of these topics are advance. And I have never worked in these areas. I am not sure whats your level in FEA but if you are a beginner then it should take a lot of time in the first step above before you can move on!
