This text encourages use of fracture methodology in chemical process industries. It does not require knowledge of higher mathematics. It includes examples applicable to process industry equipment and examines linear elastic, elastic-plastic, and plastic fracture mechanics. It also discusses subcritical crack growth, variables affecting toughness of metals, structural analysis, fracture control, data on toughness of materials, stress intensity factors, correlations of klc with Charpy impact energy, special problems, structural analysis, fractural control, examples of crack problems in industry, and instability analysis.
