Objectives
- By successful completion of this short-course, participants
- Should be able to analyze engineering failures critically in a given design by considering all possible failure mechanisms (sometimes, these failure mechanisms may be competing with one another).
- Should be able to understand the significance of generic mechanical properties of materials and their behavior when influenced by structural, process and environmental considerations.
- should be able to obtain greater exposure to the inter-relationship among the material, functional and analytical aspects of the design process.
Outlines
- This course will be taught by means of real life case examples. Structural or component failures that involve the following mechanisms will be thoroughly examined.
• Elastic instability
• Plastic yielding
• Brittle fracture
• Fast fracture
• Fatigue mechanisms
• Creep
• Corrosion and other environmental failure
• Failure of composites
• Failure Inspection Techniques, including NDT
Case studies also include failure analysis from mechanical engineering, aerospace, maritime and off-shore structures, mechanical/thermal failures in electronic devices etc.

Who Should Attend
This is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course targeted at practicing engineers in the industry (mechanical, automotive, aerospace, marine), researchers, professional engineers (PEs), designers, manufacturers and technical specialists with a wide spectrum of interests centered on the problems and challenges associated with failure analysis and design implications of engineering structures and components. With failure analysis becoming increasingly important to engineers and designers, the aim of this course is to provide an intensive introduction to the subject via vivid case examples.
