Description

In engineering, the term “failure” defines a set of conditions under which structures, machines or their components cease to perform their intended functions. The effects of such conditions range from minor interruptions of regular business operations to severe, high cost damages. In extreme cases, catastrophic failures culminate in complete devastation and loss of life. Effective management and prevention of such outcomes is impossible without complete understanding of the technical issues behind a compromised integrity or operational safety of engineering systems. In this regard it is critical to develop a high degree of professional competence at the interface of several technical disciplines including such subjects as the strength of materials, structural analysis, mechanical vibrations, fatigue and engineering design. The present course is uniquely tailored to establish a solid knowledge base of interdisciplinary fundamentals required to successfully analyze and prevent mechanical and structural failures of engineering systems over a broad range of applications.

Objective

The main objective of this course is to enhance professional competence of engineers, researchers, managers and technical personnel dealing with a broad range of technical issues associated

with the analysis and prevention of mechanical and structural failures of engineering systems in industrial applications.

Target Audience

This course is intended for mechanical, civil, industrial, materials, pipeline and reservoir engineers; technical consultants; designers; project managers; researchers; technicians; technologists; and other technical personnel.

After you attend this course, you will be able to:

Detect the sources of mechanical and structural failures
Diagnose failure problems
Perform failure analyses under static and dynamic loading conditions
Minimize the negative effects of mechanical vibrations
Recognize the causes of fatigue failures
Apply appropriate failure criteria in analysis and design
Prevent failure incidents
