Fatigue, Fracture, and Damage Analysis, 2000 : Presented at the 2000 ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference, Seattle, Washington, July 23-27, 2000

Twenty-three papers presented at the July 2000 conference discuss fatigue crack analysis, fracture mechanics and damage analysis, and aging and NDE aspects. Topics include investigation of crack initiation and growth due to repeated thermal shock, predictive fracture of test cases with flaws using the finite element method, the effect of reference flaw sizes on the P-T limit curves for pressurized water reactors, and EU activities on life extension and management.
