ICEFA IX will bring together world-class researchers, users and specialists involved in all aspects of failure analysis and prevention research across all fields of engineering.
Abstracts for short talks and for presentation as posters are invited by 11 April 2022 on the following topics to supplement the invited lectures.
- Engineering failure modes for metallic and non-metallic materials
- Approaches to failure analysis
- Role of service loading in failure analysis
- Case studies of failures in industry sectors such as aerospace, marine and offshore, automotive, rail, power generation, mining and minerals, consumer goods, medical devices and others
- Historical disasters
- Structural and architectural failures
- Microelectronic device failures
- Failure analysis and joining technologies
- Role of condition monitoring and NDT in failure avoidance
- Failure analysis, maintenance and reliability
- Role of failure analysis in the design process
- Legal matters, ethical issues and insurance in the failure analysis industry
- Training and accreditation in failure analysis research and industry
ICEFA IX is jointly organised by Elsevier and the Chinese Failure Analysis Institution (CFAI) of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society (CMES). Abstracts are encouraged from international authors: If it is not possible for accepted international authors to travel to the conference, a limited number of presentations within each conference session will be selected for presentation by zoom.
