In the oil and gas industry, the quality of storage tanks and transportation pipelines is critical to the maintenance of the fuel integrity, and leaks due to problems with thease materials will directly threaten public safety and the environment. Fracture mechanics and fatigue testings of transported pipes and storage tanks are helpful to understand their defects. Fracture Mechanics reveal the ability of materials to resist stress in the presence of flaws (such as small pores, inclusions, or micro-cracks), which allows us to conside the inevitable flaws in the design and selection of materials. The fatigue or failure of a material is due to repeated stresses, which may form cracks that will grow to be large enough to cause fracture. Fatigue can result from cyclical application of tension and compression. The fatigue study can accurately estimate the materials' fatigue life and ensures that the components do not fatigue during the service period.
