Abstract:
COMMITTEE MANDATE
Concern for crack initiation and growth under cyclic loading as well as unstable crack propagation
and tearing in ship and offshore structures. Due attention shall be paid to practical application and
statistical description of fracture control methods in design, fabrication and service. Consideration is
to be given to the suitability and uncertainty of physical models. The work shall be coordinated with
that of Committee V.2.
