Overview
Improve safety and reliability
whilst reducing cost and eliminating waste through the adoption of innovative manufacturing
methods and standards. This seminar looks across power and transport
industries.
It is vital that the structural integrity can be demonstrated and meet standard as advanced manufacturing methods are being adopted into high risk and regulated industries. This seminar looks across power and transport industries including nuclear, automotive and aerospace
The Optimising Structural Integrity seminar will address the challenges around the industry adoption of new testing methods and advanced manufacturing techniques, bridging the gap between academic innovation and industry application.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of new testing and modelling methods that will improve the prediction and monitoring of structural integrity of advanced manufactured components. Join to hear case study insights from engineers who are adopting innovative advanced material and manufacturing technologies and modelling solutions to reduce risk and obtaining more reliable assets.
New methods such as additive manufacturing, electron beam welding and powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing (PM HIP) have the potential to improve component performance and reduce the cost implications of in-service failure. However, the main barriers to the widespread adoption of advanced manufactured parts, such as the lack of understanding regarding reliability and testing methods, must be addressed. It is important for industry follow the direction of structural research to encourage the appropriate development of such testing methods based upon up-to-date knowledge.
This seminar will seek to address the topic in a holistic manner which is not covered elsewhere, enabling attendees to improve reliability while reducing cost and eliminating waste.
