About AU's 工程短期课程
Scientific and technological advances shape the face of industry today. 为了让工程师, technologists and managers to keep up with the swift changes in the field, 他们必须是终身学习者.
For those interested in increasing their expertise in the field of ceramics and glasses, 或者是刚刚介绍的, 短期课程 都是不错的选择. Designed for professionals in the ceramics and glass industry, these intensive courses offer a chance to update your knowledge of the field in a short period of time. 课程范围从详细, in-depth examinations of very specific topics to broader introductory classes.
We Can Develop a Course to Fit Your Needs
许多 短期课程 we offer can be adjusted to fit the specific technological needs of your organization, or we can create a course individually designed to your specifications. These programs provide intensive instruction to your key people, who in turn disperse their new knowledge throughout the organization, providing a big return on your investment.
- Since there are no employee travel expenses, the cost per employee (with an enrollment of ten or more) can be significantly less than the overall cost of sending staff to campus
- Questions pertaining to your organization's needs can be confidentially discussed.
- The course can be modified to address topics important to your organization, deleting those of little interest or expanding on areas of high priority.
Short course programs of several days' duration offer extensive in-depth coverage of materials and provide opportunities for greater interaction by participants.
To discuss the possibility of having a course designed especially for your company and presented on-site, 联系人: 大卫·戈特弗里德.

谁参加
工程师, scientists and technicians interested in strength 以及断裂力学测试, fracture issues related to process development or control, 故障分析(在生产过程中), 测试, 或服务), 以及故障预防. 组别限制为18人.
课程描述
This course covers the examination and interpretation of markings on fracture-exposed surfaces of glasses, 多晶陶瓷, 单晶体, 以及裂纹系统的分析, i.e.、金相. 进一步, it covers using fractography in failure analysis, 强度测试, 以及断裂力学测试. The mechanisms by which fracture markings are produced will be explained, and the information provided by the markings (e.g., in locating and identifying fracture origins and in estimating stress at failure) will be emphasized. Observation and 文档 techniques will be covered. The role of fracture analysis in failure prevention (i.e., ensuring mechanical reliability) is emphasized throughout the course. This is a hands-on course in which the students will view fractured glass and ceramic samples with stereographic optical microscopes and other tools. This year will be the 48th year the course has been offered. 这门课程是由Dr. Van 弗莱切特在1977年.
The course is designed to meet the needs of people interested in glasses or ceramics. Most of the examples that will be examined by the participants early in the course will be glass specimens, since fracture markings are most clearly seen in glass. Ceramic examples and specimens will be covered in depth in the later days of the course. In-depth coverage will be provided on equipment, 文档, 正式断口学标准, 定量断口学, with an emphasis on determining the stress in the part at fracture. Ample time is devoted to covering grinding and machining flaws in glasses and ceramics, the fractography of polycrystalline and single crystal ceramics, 断裂韧性测定, and Weibull strength correlations with fractographic analysis. Links between fractography 以及故障预防 are included in the discussions, 案例研究, 和例子.
课程大纲
断口学基础, 断裂标记的解释, 标本检验, equipment for observation and 文档, fracture origins in glasses and ceramics, quantitative fractography in 测试 (strength, 断裂力学) and failure analysis, examples of fracture in 多晶陶瓷, and using fractography in failure prevention. Attendees may bring one or two specimens for after-class inspection. The course instructors will be available after class on Days 1, 2 and 4 for inspections of specimens.

教练
Dr. James Varner is a Professor of Ceramic Engineering Emeritus at Alfred University. He received his PhD in Ceramics at Alfred University. His interest in fractography of glass and ceramics dates back to his senior thesis done under the supervision of Prof. 弗莱切特. He continued this interest throughout his professional career. He has taught this course for over 25 years.
Dr. 杰弗瑞J. Swab received a BS in Ceramic Science & Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University and his MS and PhD in Material Science & Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and SUNY-Stony Brook, respectively. He has been conducting fracture analysis on advanced ceramics for almost four decades. He organized and led the first and largest international round robin exercise on fractography of advanced ceramics and was the leader responsible for developing and publishing the world’s first fractography standard practice for ceramics (ASTM C1322).
