Papers are presented on the application of quantitative fractography and computed tomography to fracture processes in materials, the relationships between fractographic features and material toughness, the quantitative analysis of fracture surfaces using fractals, and the analysis and interpretation of aircraft component defects by means of quantitative fractography. Also discussed are the characteristics of hydrogen-assisted cracking measured by the holding-load and fractographic method, a fractographic study of isolated cleavage regions in nuclear pressure vessel steels and their weld metals, a fractographic and metallographic study of the initiation of brittle fracture in weldments, cracking mechanisms for mean stress/strain low-cycle multiaxial fatigue loadings, and corrosion fatigue crack arrest in Al alloys.
