Experimental Technique.
Experimentation can be defined as -an operation or procedure carried out unde
r controlled conditions in order to discover an unknown effect or law, to test or
establish a hypothesis, or to illustrate a known law.

Failure Analysis
The Word Failure Analysis is methods of forensic Engineering are especially valuable in tracing product d
efects and flaws.
Most failures can in the end be traced back to a
root causes of the type of human errors of any
kind. For example, human errors in:
Use studies
Requirement analysis / setting
Configuration control
Assumptions
Calculations / simulations / FEM analysis/Desig
n
Design drawings
Testing (incorrect load settings or failure measu
rement)
Statistical analysis &Manufacturing
Quality control Maintenance
Maintenance manuals
Incorrect feedback of information,etc

Application Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD
CFD has lagged behind developments in stress analysis codes
Powerful computers now make CFD more accessible
Advantages of CFD over experiments
reduction in lead time and costs of new designs
ability to study systems where controlled experiments are difficult to perform (large
systems)
ability to study systems under hazardous conditions at and beyond normal performa
nce limits

New Materials Characterization for Failure Prediction
Work tasks:
Test of shear-tension specimens with v
arious joining techniques
curves are derived from fatigue tests of s
pecimens
Create a model to simulate the fatigue b
ehaviour of joints based on FE analyses a
