Content
Part 1 Introduction to fracture mechanics: overview of the problem of fracture and fatigue in structures; stress analysis for members with cracks. Part 2 Fracture behaviour: resistance forces; effects of temperature, loading rate and constraint; CVN K-K correlations; fracture-mechanics design. Part 3 Fracture and environmental behaviour: introduction to fatigue; fatigue-crack initiation; fatigue-crack propagation under constant and variable-amplitude load fluctuation; fatigue and fracture behaviour of welded components; K and corrosion fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation. Part 4 Fracture and fatigue control: fracture and fatigue control; fracture criteria; fitness for service. Part 5 Applications of fracture mechanics - case studies: importance of fracture toughness and proper fabrication procedures - the Bryte Bend Bridge; importance of constraint and loading - the Ingram Barge; importance of loading and inspection - Trans Alaska Pipeline; importance of proper analysis, fracture toughness, fabrication, and loading on structural behaviour -failure analysis of a lock-and-dam sheet piling; importance of loading rate on structural performance - burst test of steel casings; problems.
