Advanced Failure Analysis

Catalog description

Advanced Failre Analysis: An advanced study of structural failure processes to include topics in failure analysis, fracture mechanics, nondestructive evaluation (NDE), fatigue, and environmental assisted cracking. Analysis of failures using metallograpic, electron microscopy, and microanalytic techniques will be covered. Fracture of specific materials: steels, nonferrous aloys, composites, and nonmetallic will be included. A moderate knowledge of mechanical behavior of materials will be assumed.
