Failure Analysis of Polymer and Composites
Despite efforts to improve the reliability of polymers and polymer composites, failures may occur due to manufacturing defects, inappropriate use of the materials and/or ageing due to environmental degradation. Good failure investigation skills gather pieces of information based on different characterization techniques that complement one other and use them to the benefits of hypothesizing possible failures, segregating irrelevant causes, and concluding the root cause of failure.
This training provides fundamentals and practical approach for failure investigation of polymers and polymer composites, the behavior of viscoelastic materials, degradation phenomena to better understand the macro and micro aspects of engineering components.
Objectives:
The training provides participants with:
- Forensic knowledge and skills used in failure investigation
- An abridgement of techniques used as aids in forensic investigation
- Collated experience from past failure cases from various industries and components
