Life Cycle Assessment
From Methodology to Strategic Decision-Making
One-day course exploring the limitations of brittle materials through fractography
We are delighted to be running a one-day course on fractography for ceramics, in collaboration with Professor Lilly Liu and Dr Roger Morrell.
This course is aimed at materials science students, early-career researchers, and engineers who wish to gain an understanding of how to use fractography to explore the limitations of brittle materials and solve problems.
This one-day in-person course combines lectures and practical demonstrations. The course will cover:
From Methodology to Strategic Decision-Making
One-day course introducing the main principles for designing for sustainability and circularity
One-day course exploring factors affecting failure modes and an introduction to failure analysis
