Failure Prevention Design — “Failure is not an option” is how the famous expression goes, but how is failure prevented? Especially applicable when the penalty for failure is high, such as aerospace & defense, this course shows the ways in which you can prevent failure. Learn the design process including requirements, design, analysis, testing, and the end product. Learn about failure modes, material behavior under load, design approaches, safety factors, fatigue, fracture mechanics, inspection, and testing. Experience concepts firsthand with interactive labs. This is a crash course to give designers, engineers, technicians, maintainers, and managers what they need to ensure parts don’t fail when it matters most.
