Why did this component fail?
Will this material withstand its operating environment?
Is this change safe?
Join Chris Cogswell, Solutions Consultant for Engineering at Elsevier, to explore documented failures and incidents involving corrosion, fatigue, process safety and material selection. For each case, see what happened, which questions engineers should ask, and how Knovel’s data, codes and case studies can support the investigation.
The session connects practical engineering questions with academic priorities: strengthening teaching and student career readiness, supporting research, and helping institutions make informed decisions about technical resources.
You’ll see how Knovel resources can support:
- Teaching and career readiness: Bring real engineering cases into courses, student projects and theses.
- Research and technical investigation: Find evaluated data and guidance on material performance, fatigue, fracture, corrosion and chemical properties.
- Library and academic planning: See which faculties and research groups each collection serves, how to promote the resources, and what access and usage reporting is available.
Featured resources include the ASM International Materials Collection, Knovel Corrosion, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section II, CCPS, DIPPR 801, the Chemical Resistance Database and the Knovel Polymer Matrix Composites Database.
Who should attend:
Library and information professionals, deans and academic leaders, engineering faculty, researchers, PhD candidates and students in materials, mechanical, chemical, power, safety and transport engineering.
