Description

It is often said that "steel is an inherently ductile material," and yet this statement fails to explain how steel occasionally behaves in a brittle manner. This lecture examines brittle fracture from a holistic perspective, considering the many variables that lead to brittle fracture. Four case studies are used to illustrate the effect of these variables: the World War II Liberty Ships, the Silver Bridge, the Martha Ingram barge and the Hoan Bridge. The role of material toughness, loading rate, temperature, constrain and notches are examined.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.

Please note: This webinar is part of the Ductility and Brittle Fracture Series and is not included in the NCSEA Webinar Subscription. The registration fee for the Series is $395 for members ($500 for nonmembers), which includes all 3 hours of education.

Thank You to our Sponsor!
