Business goals of reduced maintenance spending and increased equipment availability can be promoted by a good understanding of how components respond to the presence of cracks and/or cracking damage mechanisms. Hugh Roth and Peter Schaumuhn Kirk of SGS Canada will describe how utilizing advanced mechanical testing to characterize how materials develop cracks and respond to growing cracks can enable informed decisions to better manage spending and extend equipment operation to a desirable outage time frame.
