Introduction to Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) concerns the influence TOP SELLER
of micro-organisms in the corrosion of metals. This three-day course Online Instructor-Supported Course EL507
explores how different systems become vulnerable to MIC, as well the
facts and “myths” in the recognition and treatment of MIC. Originally developed for aerospace structural analysis, finite element
analysis (FEA) is now a convenient and speedy tool for approximation
The course begins with a review of electrochemical corrosion, continues of the solution to a wide variety of complicated engineering problems
with a definition and characterization of MIC, and an assessment across a wide range of industries. This online course explains how FEA
