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:
Lucideon
9:30am to 4:30pm on 5 June 2026
One-day course providing an insight into the principles of Life Cycle Assessment.
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
