SSC To Sponsor Fatigue And Fracture Course The Ship Structure Committee (SSC) will sponsor a four-day course on Fatigue and Fracture Analysis of Ship Structures, to be held at the Management Education Center at Michigan State University from August 18- 21, 1998. Quantitative fatigue and fracture assessment procedures to make safe and cost effective deci- sions in ship design, material spec- ification and in-service mainte- nance have been developed in recent years as part of many SSC projects. This course will tie together the findings of these pro- jects in order to allow practicing naval architects and engineers responsible for maintenance and safety decisions and for design optimization to benefit from the findings and to put them into prac- tical use. Course details can be obtained from Karen Scrimshaw, tel: (613) 592-2830, ext. 230; fax: (613) 592- 4950; e-mail: fieet@fieetech.com.
