The first 15 slides of the forensic analysis presentation. The objective of this module is to provide delegates with an understanding of the failure investigation process. You will learn a proven systematic approach to failure investigation, which utilizes examples from the industry and teaches the steps you need to follow. Identify damage mechanism to help the risk base inspection team to appreciate the most potential failure modes. It will provide a learning platform for engineers from all disciplines; materials, design, manufacturing, quality and management. Describe general procedures, techniques and precautions in failure analysis. Recognize how stress systems relate to fracture of ductile and brittle materials. Identify typical fatigue, corrosion and elevated-temperature failure characteristics. Learn how perform a site inspection to preserve evidence, document the site, collect relevant information. Learn fundamental sources of failures. Learn how to identify design related failures. Learn to identify failures related to metallurgical aging in service. Understand what environmental sources are responsible for failures and ways to prevent them. Learn about fatigue failures and how to interpret the interrelated factors by examining its fracture surface. Assess available failure analysis tools. Participate in root cause failure analyses and critically evaluate failure analyses.
