This chapter provides several descriptions and worked examples of the use of fracture mechanics in practice. Examples include the choice of steel for a support rod, the leak-before-break concept applied to pressure vessels, the failure of pre-tensioned bolts, and the development of a fracture control plan for estimating the safe life of medical heart valve prostheses.
