-       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.  

ý Day One:

1. Course introduction and overview of materials science
2. Overview of the mechanical behavior of materials

 

ý Day Two:

1. Material failure modes, the failure analysis process and tools
2. Mechanisms of ductile and brittle overload fracture

ý Day Three:

1. 1.     Fracture mechanics
2. Fractography
3. Toughening Mechanisms and Strategies for Increasing Fracture Toughness

ý Day Four:

1. 1.     Fatigue of materials
2. 2.     Fatigue mechanisms;
3. 3.     Fatigue crack propagation
4. 4.     fatigue prevention and prediction

 

ý Day Five:

1. 1.     Failure and Fatigue of welds
2. 2.     Creep
3. 3.     Corrosion
4. 4.     Corrosion assisted fatigue
