Metal Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics in the Nuclear Industry
Course focuses on fatigue fundamentals, failure mechanisms, compliance, fatigue management, and fatigue/cycle monitoring, as well as fracture mechanics (FM) fundamentals and use of FM to determine piping/component fitness for service. Course includes linear-elastic FM, elastic-plastic FM, and limit-load analyses and their nuclear applications, and also introduces attendees to pc-CRACK© FM computer program.
