Analysis of Failures in Polymer and Composites Elements - Methodology and Assessment Tools
The use of polymer and composite materials to create mechanical objects is very widespread today. Despite efforts undertaken to produce quality pieces, premature flaws can occur due to certain errors introduced during transformation; factors that are badly or not at all considered during design; or even inappropriate use of objects. A strong understanding of the process that led to the accidental damage provides the basis necessary to go back over the design and manufacture phases in order to improve the quality of the product. This remote learning course provides an introduction to failure analysis. We discuss the process applied for failure analysis and the main tools used on plastic, elastomer and composite objects, which enable us to verify failure hypotheses (non- destructive checks, fractography, Physico-chemical analyses, calculations, etc.).
Who Should Attend
1. Quality Control

Plastics and Composites Applications in Mechanics
Polymers, as plastics or composites, offer numerous advantages in weight, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance. Come and learn about the potential of materials in the mechanical industry to be able to list the advantages and disadvantages of the main polymer families and know how to choose the right process based on the types of pieces, while having an informed look at the environmental impact.
Who Should Attend
Technicians and engineers from research labs and process departments, and anyone who wish to have basic knowledge on plastics and composite materials (technical sales, purchasers, quality control staff).
