ICEFA V - Abstract Submission

Submit Abstract Online

Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on the following topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.

The abstract deadline for oral and poster submissions is: Friday 17 th February 2012

The modern innovation cycle now demands that component design involves a whole-of-life approach, incorporating an awareness of manufacture, safety, reliability, environmental sensitivity and disposal. This has focused attention on the pivotal role of failure analysis as an essential tool to improve equipment availability, help prevent accidents and disasters and to inform the processes of design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of key plant and equipment.

Topic areas for abstracts submissions:

Engineering failure modes for metallic and non-metallic engineering materials

Approaches to 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

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

The strengths of past conferences have been the emphasis on practical application of technical knowledge to engineering failure analysis and the extensive use of case studies to the development of an understanding of engineering failures. The case study approach is strongly encouraged as an important mechanism for developing a body of knowledge well rooted in practical experience.

All abstracts will be refereed and a criterion of rejection will be lack of originality. Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you.

If you do not receive acknowledgement for your abstract submission or you wish to make any essential revisions to an abstract already submitted, please DO NOT RESUBMIT your abstract, as this may lead to duplication. Please email the Conference Secretariat with details of any revisions or queries. Please quote your reference number if you have one. A condition of submission is that if accepted one of the authors will present at the conference.
