Forensic Materials Engineering for Product-Liability Litigation
March 13, 2018 | Track 139 Restaurant
Windsor , CT , United States
Every manufactured product is made from a natural or engineered material. Unfortunately, some things are made from the wrong material, or are made from the right material, but in the wrong way. Those mistakes can lead to product failures that have serious consequences. When a product failure is analyzed to determine the cause, the material performance is a critical factor to consider, and a materials engineer will be an integral component of the investigation team.

Advanced thermal barrier coatings including bondcoat by cold spray and topcoat by liquid based plasma spray.
November 14, 2017 | Track 139 Restaurant
Windsor , CT , United States
Thermal barrier coating is a critical technology used in a wide variety of aero and industrial gas turbine industries. Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) typically consist of a MCrAlY metallic bond coat and a zirconia-based ceramic topcoat, and the primary function of TBC is to provide improved oxidation resistance and reduced thermal conductivity at elevated temperature environment.

ASM Hartford Technical Meeting - Design and Materials Selection for Oxygen System Compatibility in Space Applications
March 21, 2017 | Track 139 Restaurante
Windsor , United States
Woody Beringer, an expert on Oxygen Compatibility in Space Applications from UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS), will be presenting to the Chapter. Title: Design and Materials Selection for Oxygen System Compatibility in Space Applications Abstract: Oxygen is a widely use chemical in industrial processes. However, it is reactive possibly causing the system components to become the fuel in a serious fire. Methods for evaluating the flammability of material with respect to oxygen pressure and temperature are available. Once the flammability is established, flammable materials are evaluated against a wide range of ignition mechanisms to determine the credibility of an ignition. Finally, the effects of an ignition or fire are evaluated to determine the criticality with respect to safety and the level of collateral damage that might occur. The result is an effective process and documented analysis for determining the system safety. Bio: Mr. Beringer is manager of Space Systems Materials Engineering at UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS). He has worked at UTAS Space Systems for 33 years and has contributed to major NASA projects including design and development of oxygensystems for the Spacesuit as well as cooling and life support systems for Orion. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hartford and his M.S. in Metallurgy from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a former member of ASTM G04 committee on Compatibility & Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres from 1990-2005.

November 15, 2016 Technical Meeting - Practical Applications of Metallurgy and Failure Analysis in our Legal System
November 15, 2016 | Corner Pug
West Hartford , CT , USA
November 15th technical meeting will be at the in Corner Pug West Hartford.
Forensic engineering is the application of engineering principles and practices to determine the cause of the failure of a component or material that resulted in an injury or economic loss. Analysis activities are performed within the framework of the legal system and experts may be called to testify regarding their findings and opinions. Similar to the TV sensationalized NCIS, each case is a puzzle that the investigator must solve. Knowledge of material failure mechanisms and the telltale clues left on fracture surfaces are often essential to solving the puzzle. A number of case studies will be presented that illustrate various material failure mechanisms and the roll of the Forensic Engineer in the legal system.
Please RSVP to Dan Denis at daniel.b.denis@gmail.com by Tuesday, November 8th, 2016.
