Contains papers from an August 1999 conference. Topics covered are integrity assessment and risk analysis, analysis of perforated structures, nonlinear finite element analysis, computational fatigue, and fracture and residual stress analysis. Specific topics include nonlinear finite element formulation for the analysis of submarine pipelines during laying operations, lumped mass tensor formulation for dynamic relaxation, residual stress in the transient zone of a high vacuum tube, and using fuzzy logic in the development of a human reliability analysis quantification tool.
