Fractography is, to be frank, a niche specialty even amongst engineers and scientists. Yet fractography plays an integral role in the work of a materials’ failure analyst. As such, the findings of fractographic analyses must be disseminated to engineers in other fields and to non-technical stakeholders. During this discussion, the organizers of this session would like to invite our colleagues in the audience to share both tried-and-true methods and new-and-unique techniques for communicating the results of fractography analyses.

Panel Moderators: Dan Grice (PE) & Jonathan Contreras (PE)
