The Role of Welding in Fracture Mechanics Development

Article Preview

Abstract:

The role of welding in fracture mechanics development is considered from historical point of view. Starting point was analysis of Schenectady ship failure during the II World War, leading to development of linear elastic, as well as elastic-plastic fracture mechanics, soon afterwards. Two case studies are described to illustrate weldment fracture mechanics and structural integrity assessment.
