摘要：

The Failure of the MV Kurdistan demonstrates the classic combination of high stress, low toughness and defect which are required to cause initiation of a brittle failure. This paper describes the failure investigation. The casualty illustrates the importance that secondary stresses and thermal stresses can have on the conditions which lead to failure. The formal investigation into the Kurdistan involved the use of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics (for the first time in a U.K. court) to help ascertain the circumstances leading to the failure.
