Third International Conference on Engineering Failure Analysis

Join international experts from academia and industry for the third in a series of international meetings looking at the design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of safe engineering.

ICEFA III will provide a forum for the presentation, advancement and dissemination of failure analysis studies for the benefit of the wider world.

Driven by greater global awareness of issues such as safety, economy and environment sensitivity, this year's conference will focus attention on the pivotal role of failure analysis as an essential design and management tool to help prevent disasters, accidents and failures. It will also inform of the processes of design, manufacture, operation and maintenance.

Topics will include:
The analysis of engineering disasters, accidents and failures
Designing, manufacturing, operating and maintaining artifacts to avoid failure Examples of technology transfer

The structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials involving detailed application of material parameters to problems in structures, components and design.
Representative subject areas are given below but are not exhaustive.

Aerospace
Marine and offshore
Automotive
