This course will cover the fundamentals of fracture mechanics and its applications to the nuclear power industry. The topics will include linear elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. The methods for the computation of stress intensity factors and fatigue and stress corrosion life will be discussed. Selected applications of the ASME code will also be briefly discussed. An introduction to probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) will also be provided. 

pc-CRACK 4.2 will be used for problem solving. 

 

Recommended Prerequisites

General understanding of stresses and strains. A degree in mechanical, civil or materials engineering. Background in the strength of materials. Finite elements useful, but not required.

 

What will you learn? 

  • Fundamentals of fracture mechanics 
  • Application of fracture mechanics 
  • Limitations of fracture mechanics 
  • Perform critical crack size calculations 
  • Perform life calculations under fatigue or stress-corrosion cracking
  • Selected applications of the ASME Code 
  • Efficient use of pc-CRACK 4.2
