Course Description
Course Descriptions - Forensic Engineering: Parts A. and B.
This is a two-part course that describes the methods commonly used to evaluate the cause(s) of metallic material failures, i.e., to complete root-cause failure analyses (RCFA), and to recommend remedial actions to prevent a reoccurrence. This process is often known as forensic engineering. It is applied in legal cases in which the professional engineer doing the RCFA acts as an expert witness for the attorney that retained him or her. It is also widely used in industrial applications where the failure analyst completes the RCFA and then recommends practical actions for the end user to implement to control or prevent the failure in future operations.
Part A. describes typical sequential steps used in a very thorough RCFA, some common classes of generic issues that can cause metallic failures, and some of the typical analytical techniques that are used to characterize the properties of metal alloys that have failed. Comparisons are provided between the responsibilities of the failure analyst acting in a legal case versus his or her actions in conducting an industrial RCFA.
Part B. describes the four classes of specific failure mechanisms that are most common in metallic part or component failures, i.e., static stress overload, mechanical fatigue, corrosion and wear. Most of these classes of failures have multiple subclasses and each of these is reviewed in some detail with emphasis on how these characteristics point to effective corrective actions that should be evaluated for the given application. The many forms of aqueous corrosion are given special attention because of the widespread occurrence and effects of this class of failures.
