Principles of Failure Analysis

This course is designed to provide the knowledge to bridge the gap between theory and practice of failure analysis. This course presents a very practical approach to failure analysis for those who are new to the field or those who want an update. It is also designed for technicians with the pre-requisites and those interested in understanding how knowledge of failure analysis can lead to better productivity. Causes of fractures are explained with diagrams of stress application and distribution. Many case histories of failures and their elimination are highlighted throughout the course.

As there are no courses for individuals currently scheduled, we encourage individuals to do the online ASM Principles of Failure Analysis course as this is great for those looking to further their knowledge. The material has recently been  enhanced with self-guided digital short courses added to related lessons. These additions feature enhanced visuals, narrated text and animations, and interactive quizzes to support learning. You will have a year to complete the course.
