Fatigue and Fracture, Vol. 1 Book

Proceedings of the ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference, July 21-26, 1996, Montreal Quebec, Canada. The 36 papers in this volume illustrate the application of fatigue and fracture mechanics techniques to assess the structural integrity on a wide variety of pressure vessels and piping components. The papers are organized in five sections, as follows: Fatigue and Fracture: Piping and Components; Fatigue and Fracture: Environmental Cracking; Leak-Before-Break Analyses; Fatigue Testing and Analyses and Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics Analyses in Pressure Boundary Components. By: H.S. Mehta, S. Bhandari, D. Jones, S. Rahman, G. Wilkowski and K.K. Yoon

The first of two volumes on the subject containing papers from a symposium of the July 1996 meeting. Papers are organized in five sections covering fatigue and fracture of piping and components; and of environmental cracking; leak-before-break analyses; fatigue testing and analyses; and probabilistic fracture mechanics analyses in pressure boundary components.
