Workshop Overview

The most efficient and effective approach to plastic component failure isperforming a systematic failure analysis following scientific method. Someone once said, “If you don't know how something broke, you can't fix it,” highlighting the importance of a thoroughunderstanding of how and why a product has failed.

• Possible Outline Plastic Properties: chemicalthermal, mechanical
• Recognizing Failure Plastic Failure Mechanisms: impact, creep, ESC, fatigue,degradation
• Conducting a Failure Analysis Failure Analysis Testing: fractography and analytical

This course would be "case study" and "example" driven.

Target Audience

Target audience are those responsible for the design and quality of molded plastic components and equipment using plastic parts. This includes automotive, medical, appliance, aerospace, electronics industries. Typical titles would be plasti cengineers, engineering managers, quality engineers, reliability engineers, design engineers.
