Register now for The Welding Institute’s Structural Integrity Technical Group Meeting
Engineers, managers and researchers with responsibility for weld quality and performance are encouraged to register for next month’s Structural Integrity Technical Group Meeting taking place at Manchester Conference Centre on Thursday 5 March 2015.
The seminar runs from 10.00am to 4.00pm and covers the benefits of using finite element techniques for weld flaw assessment.
Presentations from eight industry experts, including TWI’s Simon Smith and Tyler London, cover a range of topics such as finite element analysis, calculating residual stress levels in welds, treatment of residual stresses in weld flaw assessments, using strain based design for fracture assessment, FEA in the power generation industry, using FEA for weld integrity management in the oil and gas industry, and using software and FEA solutions for weld integrity management.
Benefits of attending include identifying opportunities for cost and time saving through improved weld flaw assessments, knowing how finite element techniques can be used to advantage, learning about potential future improvements in finite element applications for assessing weld flaws, and influencing the direction of future research by contributing to the discussion.
The day delegate rate is £30 + VAT for members of The Welding Institute and Industrial Members of TWI and £95 + VAT for non-members. Students qualify for a discount rate of £15 + VAT.
The seminar takes place at Manchester Conference Centre, The Leader Suite, Weston Room 2 and 3, Sackville Street, Manchester M1 3BB.
