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 wishing to gain an understanding of how to use fractography to explore the limitations of brittle materials and to 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 sessons on flexureal strength and participant components
  • Case studies dealing with component failures
