Application of Advanced Fracture Mechanics Technology to Ensure Structural Reliability in Critical Titanium Structures,

Abstract

This final report describes the work done in a program designed to assist the Navy in developing and applying fracture mechanics technology to assess structural reliability in critical applications of titanium alloys. A complete elastic-plastic fracture mechanics methodology is developed, and is applied to example models. Topics where further research is needed are discussed in detail. (Author)
