Failure analysis and fitness-for-service assessment for a pipeline
Engineering Failure Analysis, 2001Abstract Failures during hydrotest have been analyzed for a new crude oil pipeline, indicating that the main cause of failures is severe lack of fusion defects formed by inadequate welding heat input in electric resistance welded (ERW) pipe welds. The fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment has been carried out for the pipeline by use of the fracture ...

A Size That Fits All for the Science-and-Technology Pipeline
2011The strength and size of the nation's science-and-engineering work force are the subject of much concern. We believe that those concerns are overstating and misidentifying America's challenges in science and engineering, and that they are missing the real opportunities for improving the nation's education and work force.
