Forty-two peer reviewed papers present the latest research in:

• Residual stress effects on fatigue and fracture

• Multiscale and physics-based approaches

• Reactor components and materials

• Fatigue crack growth

• Predicting the effects of elevated temperatures and environment

• Fatigue and fracture of specific components, joining methods, surface treatments, and coatings.

Each of these areas presents their own challenges to the development and application of engineering approaches to predict the structural integrity and remaining life of systems.
