Structural Integrity Course 2019

The Structural Integrity Course, co-sponsored by FESI and the University of Bristol, offers a comprehensive programme to cover the main aspects of the assessment of engineering structures and components under the effect of mechanical loading, high temperature and harsh environments containing cracks. The course provides delegates with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in structural integrity assessment cases involving failure mechanisms as fatigue, fracture, corrosion, creep and their interaction. The course will first review key theoretical aspects for the delegates to understand or refresh key concepts, and will then make focus on practical issues of structural integrity assessment.

The University of Manchester’s Robert A Ainsworth (Professor of Structural Integrity) and Robert Akid (Professor in Corrosion & Materials) will be focussing on high temperature fracture and fatigue, and environmentally-assisted cracking, respectively, whilst Nicolás Larrosa, Lecturer in Structural Integrity at the University of Bristol, will be speaking about fatigue and fracture mechanics.
