Fractography of Ceramics

One-day course exploring the limitations of brittle materials through fractography

The next course will take place at AMRICC in Stone, Staffordshire on 29 October.

 


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:

  • Fundamental principles of brittle fracture
  • Practical aspects for studying cracks and fracture origins
  • Practical sessions on flexural strength and participant components
  • Case studies dealing with component failures
