June Summer School – Mastering Failure Analysis

While our live webinar series takes a summer hiatus, the learning doesn’t stop. This June, we are opening the archives for a month-long intensive on Plastic Failure Analysis. Whether you are designing for long-term durability or troubleshooting a field return, understanding how and why polymers fail is the first step toward a more robust product.

We’ve curated three essential on-demand sessions to help you master the mechanics of failure:

• Lesson 1: Fatigue Failure of Plastics – Learn how cyclic loading leads to progressive structural damage and how to predict service life under repetitive stress. Watch Now
• Lesson 2: Creep Failure of Plastics – Explore the time-dependent deformation of polymers and how to account for long-term “flow” in your material selection process. Watch Now
• Lesson 3: Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) – The Plastic Killer – Dive into the single most common cause of plastic part failure. Understand the synergy between chemical exposure and mechanical stress. Watch Now
