This comprehensive report details a failure analysis assignment completed for a Mechanical Engineering MSc program. The report encompasses a lab report on tensile testing of aluminum and mild steel, including experimental procedures, data analysis, and discussions on material properties such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and ductility. It also includes a presentation component with slides. Furthermore, the assignment incorporates several exercises, including analyses of different types of mechanical failures (excessive deflection, buckling, ductile and brittle fracture), material selection for specific applications (Rutan Voyager aircraft, Nitrogen vessel), failure analysis of glass and steel components, and design exercises based on material properties. The report concludes with calculations for material selection in a cantilever beam design based on given parameters, ranking materials based on their properties.
