ABOUT THIS SEMINAR
To ensure reliable identification of the cause of a failure, it is important to identify the logic of the failure through all available information and a systematic analysis of the damage pattern. Therefore, the typical material analysis methods represent only one part of the seminar content. The main focus is on the interpretation of damage patterns which is illustrated by examples of more than one hundred damage cases.
Please note that all open seminars are held in German.
