crackcontrol
Crackcontrol is a term used to describe strategies, methods, and tools aimed at preventing, delaying, or mitigating crack initiation and propagation in engineered materials and structures. It encompasses design approaches, material selection, surface engineering, and maintenance practices that reduce fracture risk.
Techniques associated with crackcontrol include improving fracture toughness, applying protective coatings, controlling residual stresses, corrosion protection,
Applications of crackcontrol span aerospace, automotive, civil infrastructure, energy, and marine sectors, where the goal is
