Failure Analysis of Engineering Materials

This document outlines the objectives and content of a course on failure analysis of engineering materials. The course is divided into 6 units that cover various failure modes including fracture, fatigue, creep, wear and electrical/electronic failures. Students will learn tools and techniques for failure analysis as well as how to investigate and determine failure mechanisms. They will also learn how to apply fracture mechanics concepts to fatigue life estimation and design. The course aims to help students understand failure mechanisms in engineering components.
