Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer GmbH (HBK) will deliver the Durability and Reliability Technology Days 2025, a fully virtual and free-to-attend event scheduled for 4, 11, and 18 November.

Now in its sixth year online, HBK Technology Days brings together engineers, researchers, and industry leaders to explore the latest developments in fatigue, reliability, and structural health, offering practical tools and insights that participants can apply directly in their work.

Dates: 4, 11, 18 November 2025
Language: English
Length: 6 sessions of 90 minutes each
Location: Online

Event Highlights:

HBK Technology Days 2025 will feature six in-depth sessions, each lasting approximately 90 minutes. Participants will have a unique opportunity to learn about durability and reliability challenges and solutions shaping the future, and to engage with leading experts.

Day 1 – Tuesday, 4 November

Session 1: Fatigue crack growth – introduction, theory, and testing


Session 2: Fatigue crack growth – characterisation, threshold, and WholeLife



Day 2 – Tuesday, 11 November

Session 3: Fatigue at elevated temperature


Session 4: Reliability modelling and shaker testing



Day 3 – Tuesday, 18 November

Session 5: Reliability data models


Session 6: Fatigue test data management and structural health monitoring



Each session offers practical insights, covering topics such as fatigue testing and prediction for crack growth and elevated temperature, smart testing to integrate physical and virtual testing, advanced reliability modelling, and real-world structural health monitoring solutions.

Andrew Halfpenny, Director of Technology, nCode Products, and Rob Plaskitt, Application Engineer, Durability and Event Organiser, stated, “This event, now in its 6th year online, and these sessions, have been built to provide engineers with practical tools they can apply directly to their work – from in-depth fatigue topics and reliability subjects, to managing the huge quantities of data they generate. It is a collaborative event where engineers and innovators can come together to share ideas, tackle challenges, and help to shape the future of durable, reliable, and sustainable engineering. We want participants to feel they have learned something.
