_A
_Well, as a materials engineer person,.I have to 8
be aware of'it.
I have to be aware of all types of 9
materials and their behavior, so it does fall under what I
%g 10 normally do.

-11 Q
In your degree or expertise in the field of metal 12 processing rathe'r than metallurgy generally?
13 A
Yes,.that's correct.
My Ph. D.
is in the area of
.b'[
14 process. metallurgy which of course is all types of 15 fabrications such as casting and welding.
-16 My thesis was on high temperature metallurgy,
'17-
. elevated temperature metallurgy, and my interest has focused-
'18 primarily on high temperature metallurgical reactions, and I-19 consider myself a chemical metallurgist, if you wish another 20 term for-it.
And that's my Ph.
D.
f 21 Before that.I was a chemical engineer, and before 22 that a chemist, so I have a rather broad background.

. analysis of the fatigue of the cast iron in the EDG blocks 2
at Shoreham, did you?
3 A
No.
(;
4-MR. BRIGATI:
Objection, because I'm not sure-5 that I know or'the witness knows what the term " analysis" 6
means.
Mr. Farley has been using it fairly regularly, and 7
'this may be a little late, but I am getting confused about 8
the term.
9 JUDGE BRENNER:
I am going to overrule the 10 objection.
I think the witness had no trouble that I've 11 observed, nor would I expect him to have any trouble lin 12 explaining, in the course of giving.their answer, what 13 they've done or not done in a particular question.
And 14 while that term can be subject to some generalities, I think h,
15 it's a reasonable way to put the question, and you can come 16 back later if you think there are any remaining problems.
17 If I thought there was a great potential for 18 trouble now I'd correct it, but I don't think there is..
19 So the objection is overruled.
20 BY MR. FARLEY:
21 Q
Dr. Anderson, have you--
22 JUDGE BRENNER:
No, wait; I think there is a 23 pending question.
24 MR. FARLEY:
I beg your pardon.

It was answered.

.Ihc. Anderson, you have not published any articles.
6 cor papers which address fatigue in cast iron, have you?
7 A
(Witness Anderson)
.No.
8' O'
Mr. Bridenbaugh, you are not qualified by 9
training, experience, education or knowledge to analyze 10-
-fatigue in cast iron, are you?-
11 A
(Witness B'ridenbaugh)
I have not ever had a job J
12 where-I was required to do'such a task, so the direct answer 13
- to-your question, Mr. Farley,.I presume would-be "No."
a: '
- L<4 I-have, however, had'a: considerable amount of a
15 experience in the field ~ evaluation'of failures of many kinds 16
-of different components, including some cast iron ones, and 17.
so I guess I would give.a qualified "Yes"'in the analysis

end of things.
I have had occasion to inspect failed 119 components and evaluate how to repair or replaceLauch.
20 Q'
Have you ever done any fracture mechanics

analysisfon a structural component?
221 LA Not. personally,.no.
23-O' Professor Christensen, have you ever done a

No, not as such.

Mr. Hubbard, have you ever performed any fracture j.,p)-
machanics: analysis-of a structural component?
4 5
A (Witness Hubbard)
No, I have not.
Like 6
~Mr.- Bridenbaugh, when I was manager of quality assurance at 7
GE, I was involved in the analysis of field failures as 8
part of my responsibilities.

It is also true, isn't it, Dr. Anderson, that the 10 extent of any analysis or review of the fracture' mechanics 11 evaluation on'the cylinder blocks at Shoreham by you has 12 been limited to an examination of the FaAA report of. June 13 19847 eA 14
-- A (Witness Anderson)
Yes, that is all I've had e
\\-)
15 available to me.
16 O
Mr. Bridenbaugh, you are not sponsoring any 17 testimony in this proceeding, are you, dealing with a 18 fracture mechanics evaluation on the cylinder blocks at 19 Shoreham?
20 A
(Witness Bridenbaugh)
I think, Mr. Farley, you 21 asked that same question of Dr. Anderson with regard to the 22 answer on page 163, and I believe he responded that that is 23 about the only area where fracture mechanics is discussed.
24 O
So the answer to my question is No?
