Physics of Failure (also known as Reliability Physics) is a science-based approach for achieving Reliability by Design. The approach is based on research to identify and understand the processes that initiate and propagate mechanisms that ultimately results in failure. This knowledge when used in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) durability simulations and reliability assessment can evaluate if a new design, under actual operating is susceptible to the root causes of failure such as fatigue, fracture, wear, and corrosion during the intended service life of the product.
The objective is to identify and eliminate potential failure mechanisms in order to prevent operational failures through stress-strength analysis to produce a robust design and aid in the selection of capable manufacturing practices. This is accomplished by modeling the material strength and architecture of the components and technologies a product is based upon to evaluating their ability to endure the life-cycle usage and environmental stress conditions the product is expected to encounter over its service life in the field or during durability or reliability qualification tests.
The ability to identify and quantify the specific hazard risks timeline of specifics failure risks in a new product while it is still on the drawing board (or CAD screen) enables a product team to design reliability into a product by revising the design to eliminate or mitigate failure risks. This capability results in a form of Virtual Validation and Virtual Reliability Growth during the a product’s design phase that can be implemented faster and at lower costs than the traditional Design-Build-Test-Fixed approach to Reliability Growth during a product’s development and test phase.
This webinar compares classical reliability concepts and relates them to the PoF approach as applied to Electrical/Electronic (E/E) System and technologies. This webinar is intended for E/E Product Engineers, Validation/Test Engineers, Quality, Reliability and Product Assurance Personnel, CAE Modeling Analysts, R&D Staff and their supervisor.
This webinar looks at answering this question, not by going deeply into the various designed experiment types, but from a process improvement perspective. Progressing from a definition of a designed experiment, to Why and when do I need a designed experiment?, What’s the concept? (and why can’t I do a “one-factor-at-a-time” series of experiments? , to Will this tool solve REAL WORLD problems?
Advanced MATLAB Tutorial for Engineers & ScientistsRay Phan
This is a more advanced tutorial in the MATLAB programming environment for upper level undergraduate engineers and scientists at Ryerson University. The first half of the tutorial covers a quick review of MATLAB, which includes how to create vectors, matrices, how to plot graphs, and other useful syntax. The next part covers how to create cell arrays, logical operators, using the find command, creating Transfer Functions, finding the impulse and step response, finding roots of equations, and a few other useful tips. The last part covers more advanced concepts such as analytically calculating derivatives and integrals, polynomial regression, calculating the area under a curve, numerical solutions to differential equations, and sorting arrays.

HOW TO OVERCOME TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS TO SCALE UP AUTOMATIONMohit Sharma (GAICD)
As their Automation capabilities evolve, many organizations with successful Intelligent Automation initiatives look to identify and capture further benefits by extending their Automation programs across the enterprise.
Implementing Automation at scale can present various challenges due to technical considerations such as the architecture of the target environment, managing the myriad of tools involved, support and maintenance for automation development and IT change management, among other issues.
During the webinar, guest speakers Daniel Kennedy, St. John of God’s Health Care and Abhinav Sarna, Edith Cowan University will share their practical experiences with Mohit Sharma, Mindfields about how organisations can better overcome the technical issues that can hinder the scale-up of complex Automation programs.
Join this webinar to gain new insights on:
The common technical pitfalls in scaling up an Automation program
Overcoming technical challenges

Reinvent Performance Management into a Leadership ProcessHuman Capital Media
You’ve heard all the buzz and stats: A majority of organizations want to improve their performance management system. Many are getting rid of their ratings. Most are struggling with leaders who can’t coach or give feedback. Almost all agree that performance management is broken.
Have you been tasked to review your system? Are you stuck trying to figure out your next best move? Join us for a one-hour webinar to gain insights and ideas on how to reinvent your approach to performance management:
Transform it from a HR process to a leadership process
Recognize common pitfalls
Consider the science of human motivation
Change the goal of performance management to improved performance

Expense Management: Best Practices and Benchmarking for 2015 Ashley Emery
Travel and Entertainment (T&E) expenses—second only to payroll as the largest business expense—are becoming increasingly more difficult to control as companies expand across borders and grow through acquisitions. Therefore, effective budgeting, planning, and management of T&E expenses is critical for companies of all sizes in 2015 and beyond.
How does your company’s overall T&E spending, as well as spending within key categories, compare with other companies? How are companies leveraging automation to better understand and control how employees are spending the company dime? Join us for an hour-long discussion about the best practices to reduce T&E spending and simplify expense management processes in 2015.
Expense Reporting Strategies, Trends and Technologies for 2016Ashley Emery
Accounting and finance professionals are increasingly pressured to lower company costs, often with reduced budgets that limit access to the latest technology resources. Now, more businesses are turning to their travel and entertainment (T&E) expense management programs for improved spending control and labor-saving efficiencies. A recent nationwide survey of more than 500 CFOs, controllers, and accountants reveals key strategies, trends, and technologies that U.S. companies are using in 2016 to measurably reduce costs, improve T&E policy compliance, and effectively do more with less.
T&E Expense Spending and Automation Technology Trends for 2016Ashley Emery
The average U.S. company budgets between 6 and 12 percent of total annual revenues for travel and entertainment expenses. Faced with rising costs and added responsibility for the bottom line, today’s accounting professionals are increasingly turning to automation to streamline the expense management process and better control spending across a number of important functions. This webinar will provide new insight into the latest business travel expense and technology trends. Plus, learn how companies of every size are leveraging automation to improve internal spend management procedures for accounts payables and employee-initiated expenses.
Topics covered include:
Annual T&E expense spending trends and category benchmarks
Top spend and expense management challenges reported by U.S. businesses
Most-wanted technologies for improved efficiency, control and visibility
How process automation can improve employee productivity by 29%
Six strategies to automate expense management and control spending
