Tutorials and Training

Since 2009 I have taught a class on Materials for Extreme Environments including both superalloys and ceramic matrix composites for aerospace applications. I have given half day, one day and multi day tutorials covering various aspects of ceramic matrix composites including:

  • "The Basics"

  • Processing, microstructure and properties

  • Life-limiting mechanisms and design implications

  • Testing at room and elevated temperatures

  • Modal acoustic emission tutorial and training utilizing Digital Wave (Hexagon) AE systems, although I have some experience with Physical Acoustics (Mistras) and Vallen systems as well
