    Abstract:
    "Thoughts on Sauveur and How to Teach Failure Analysis"

    While preparing for this lecture I discovered a personal link to Sauveur – as we all know, helived a long and productive life. He was born in 1863 and died in 1939, which is actually the year I was born, so I feel that I personally serve as a link in a metallurgical continuum that goes all the way back to him!
    After graduating from MIT and joining the steel industry in 1889, he discovered the insufficiency of his (and others') knowledge about composition-structure-property relations in the iron-carbon system, to the extent that it hampered their ability to produce quality steel. He set out to correct that situation, initially with the help of a decrepit optical microscope and then later with now-famous international collaborators. In recent years I have been thinking about how to properly train students to perform failure
    analyses of mechanically loaded components, and have learned that there is no widely accepted pedagogy. However, like Sauveur, I have come to the conclusion that the traditional composition-structure-property relations, that we all know and love, are the perfect places to start.

    In this lecture I will concentrate on my efforts to develop and apply a pedagogy, not only for students of Materials Science, but also for others with little Materials background, and I will discuss the joys and sorrows of this endeavor. Given that numerous members of the ASM community have considerable experience in this particular area, I hope you will find the discussion interesting and maybe even amusing.

    Speaker Bio:

    David Pope received his undergraduate degree in Engineering Science at the University of Wisconsin and his MS and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Science at California Institute of Technology. He did postdoctoral research at Caltech, then joined the faculty of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, where he is now a Professor.  His research interests include deformation and fracture mechanisms in intermetallic compounds, the effects of impurities on fracture processes in metals and dislocation generation and the ductile-to-brittle transition in crystalline materials.  He has served as Chair of the Department of Materials Science and also of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In addition, he has served as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Penn, and as Ombudsman for the University of Pennsylvania.
