National Conference On Failure Analysis 2006

Theme and Scope of the Conference N C F A 2006

In the recent past, failure analysis has grown to be an important activity, both in scientific content and user’s utility. Failure analysis being a daunting and demanding task, needs multidisciplinary expertise and experience. With the development and availability of newer material characterization techniques, a lot of scientific data is generated and used in interpreting features. Failure analysis determines and describes the factors responsible for the failure of the components. From an engineering point of view, the proper application of failure analysis techniques can provide a valuable feed back to overcome design problems and material limitations. Failure analysis can play a maximum part in design, since most sophisticated simulation testing can never duplicate the varied and interacting conditions found in actual service.

The theme of failure analysis is important to aerospace, automobile, defence, engineering, chemical, petrochemical and power generation industries. The cause as well as prevention of failures has drawn considerable attention world wide.

The purpose of the conference is to bring together the multidisciplinary community of designers, researchers, academicians, users and regulatory bodies to discuss the causes of failures and prevention methods. The conference is structured as plenary sessions followed by contributory sessions. The plenary lectures will be delivered by eminent personalities.

The conference papers will be peer reviewed and the proceedings of the same in the form of CD will be made available to the delegates during conference.

Relevance
This conference is for Scientists and Engineers associated with the research and development, production, operation and maintenance of systems used in aerospace, automotive, chemical, petrochemical, power generation industries, academic and R&D institutions will be benefited.
