Abstract:

The report presents interpretations of the significance of fracture- state criteria and their application in the development of rational fracture- control plans. A brief is evolved for meeting of regulatory andor contractual requirements, based on scientific and technologically appropriate procedures. It is emphasized that the emerging issues of the 1970s center on technological application of fracture-control principles, in the total context of engineering realities and normal business relationships.
