HI-RF9 Course Physics of Failure
Introduction to failure mechanisms and the physics behind them.
With this course you’ll learn:
- Practical and detailed knowledge about failure mechanisms in products and their impact on reliability
- How to apply the gained knowledge immediately to design for reliability (DfR) and product improvement projects to prevent failures
Teaching professionals.
Dr. Anton van Beek
Teacher at TU Delft works at the Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering
He is the author of the book ‘Advanced Engineering Design; Lifetime performance and Reliability’. As a tribologist, he increased his area of knowledge with many failure mechanisms. Apart from his work for the TU Delft he is also a consultant for several wear and fatigue issues.
Dr. Ir. Coen Smits
Reliability Specialist
He has been with Holland Innovative for over 10 years as a reliability specialist with assignments in many high tech and automotive organizations. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from the Eindhoven University of Technology.

The participants of the course RF9 Physics of Failure acquire detailed knowledge on failure mechanisms in products and their impact on reliability.
Thinking in functions and failure mechanisms is essential during the Product Creation Process (PCP). Loss of functionality implies the failure of construction or design. This can be prevented in numerous ways. Insight into the physics of failure contributes to the Product Creation Process during all development phases of reliable systems.
The course focuses on the identification, understanding and modeling of failure mechanisms. Based on appropriate design measures, the probability failures is minimized. After this, the Reliability can be predicted, accounting for variation due to design, manufacturing and user.
You will learn to think in terms of failure mechanisms during development and insight into failure mechanisms in mechanical, mechatronics, and electronic systems. Topics covered include: Fatigue, Wear-out, Degradation, Connections, Electrical failures and modeling and prevention of failure mechanisms.
Course: Physics of Failure.
Outcome
The course Physics of Failure focuses on the identification, understanding and modeling of failure mechanisms to prevent failures and improve reliability. The knowledge gained will be applicable during the Design for Reliability and product improvement projects.
Identifying critical components in systems and taking the necessary measures is an essential skill to avoid failures and to achieve a reliable design. A component can fail in many ways and understanding the underlying causes of failure and failure mechanisms, is a prerequisite for a proper design. Not only does it save time and money during product development, it also prevents dissatisfied customers and users.
