The problem of brittle fracture in metals

This thesis document was issued under the authority of another institution, not NPS. At the time it was written, a copy was added to the NPS Library collection for reasons not now known.  It has been included in the digital archive for its historical value to NPS.  Not believed to be a CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) title. / Attention has been focused in recent years on the all-important subject of brittle fracture. It ls well to point out that if there were no controversies or discrepancies in the theories concerning
brittle fracture, and if the state of knowledge was in fairly satisfactory condition, the series epidemic of failures
in welded ship structures during World War II might never have happened. Much of the recent investigation and attention given to this subject stems from this one series of failures as add»d
impetus towards the solution of one of the most outstanding questions
in metallurgy. / http://www.archive.org/details/problemofbrittle00hink / U.S. Navy (U.S.N.) author.
