Course Goals / Objectives:
Provide a basic understanding of the types of failures that occur in welded construction, including failure during primary fabrication, repair, or during service
Review the failure mechanisms that occur during primary fabrication, including solidification and liquefaction cracking, solid-state cracking, and hydrogen induced cracking
Review failure mechanisms that occur in service, including fracture, fatigue, creep, and corrosion
Review weldability tests that are used to quantify weldability
Provide a basic overview of techniques that are used to conduct a failure analysis of welded structures
Experience in writing a detailed technical paper on a specific topic and to review and critique papers written by other students
