Get the latest information on how to extend the design life ofstructures and accurately predict both the fundamental materialbehavior and structural response under a wide range of loadconditions.

Nine peer-reviewed papers cover:

Ferritic Steels—addresses fracture in the transitionregime, on the upper shelf, and in the creep range. This sectionalso examines the Gurson and Weibull models to predict fractureperformance and account for constraint loss.

Electronic Materials—discusses the application of theWeibull models used extensively for steel fracture to assess theinterfacial fracture of electronic components. These models predictwell conditions similar to the calibration dataset.

Computational Techniques—covers advanced computationaland experimental techniques to develop constitutive models forcomposite and shape memory materials.
