Piping Brittle Fracture Evaluations
October 21, 2021 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Presenters: Kraig S. Shipley, Stephanie J. Dux, and R. Branden Stucky
Brittle fracture is the sudden, rapid propagation of a crack-like flaw under stress where the material exhibits little or no evidence of ductility. Although rare, the consequences of brittle fracture are typically catastrophic, and preventing brittle fracture is essential when establishing fixed equipment lifecycle management strategies.
