Congratulations on completing ASME Code Week!
Your dedication to intensive learning demonstrates your commitment to engineering excellence and public safety—core values that define the ASME community. This achievement reflects your investment in professional development and your role in upholding the rigorous standards that have made ASME a globally trusted name in engineering for over 140 years.
This badge is awarded to participants who successfully completed an accredited course offered during ASME Boiler Code Week. Earning this badge signifies active engagement in technical learning aligned with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), as well as a demonstrated commitment to advancing safety, quality, and compliance in engineering practice.
Description of Course:
Providing a practical understanding of fatigue and fracture calculations, this course is designed for engineers who are required to perform such calculations, or who specify or evaluate testing and draft fatigue or fracture portions of design requirements. It covers the latest methodologies such as weight functions and the failure assessment diagram (FAD) approach. Related subjects such as damage tolerance analysis, reliability, and risk-based inspection will also be discussed.
You Learned To:
Explain the underlying assumptions and limitations of fracture mechanics.
Describe the process for material selection for fatigue and fracture resistance.
Explain how to perform simple to moderately complex fracture mechanics calculations.
Identify codified procedures for flaw evaluation.
