What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)

situate engineering failure analysis under the broader field of forensic engineering
explain the principles of manufacturing and mechanical metallurgy and how they can be applied to engineering failure analysis
give appropriate tests that can be done to analyse the cause;
explain what steps can be taken to prevent a particular failure in future.

Course contents

Application of the principles of manufacturing and mechanical metallurgy to the analysis of failed components; destructive tests (hardness test, compressive test, tensile test, fatigue test, impact test, creep test) and non-destructive test (such as magnetic, resonance, eddy current effect) of metallic materials; analytical techniques such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and high-resolution photography for characterisation of microstructure and fractographic failures; appropriate methods to gather data, analyse the data and draw valid conclusions therefrom.
