The EDEAC-PC computer program incorporates a versatile database which includes measurements for over 3000 fatigue crack growth tests on various materials in nuclear power plant environments. The program facilitates data searching and display through a menu driven interface. Data for ferritic steels, stainless steels and nickel-base alloys are included and can be searched to assess effects of selected test conditions on crack growth rates. Guidance is also provided for external assessment of duty load spectra, analysis of nondestructive inspection data and other analytical procedures.
