When DES was standardized, Whitfield Diffie and Martin Heilman estimated that it would be possible to build a DES-cracking computer for 20 million that would crack a DES key in a day. In 1993, Michael Wiener designed on paper a special purpose brute force DES-cracking computer that he estimated could be built for 1 million and would crack an average DES key in about three and a half hours. In 1997, Wiener updated his analysis based on then-current computers, estimating that a 1 million machine would crack keys in 35 minutes.

This chapter presents an overview of properties and performance of polymer blends, focusing on these aspects that are outside the main domain of the other chapters in this handbook. Such properties as mechanical, chemical, and solvent effects and thermal, flame retardancy, electrical, and optical properties are discussed. Further, the developments in sound transmission, certain special test methods in aroma barrier, permeability test for hquids, and environment stress cracking are included in the second edition of this handbook. In addition, the data is updated and upgraded. And, finally, the relevant and useful websites for additional information are also provided towards the end of this chapter. 

Sulfide stress cracking (SSC), a form of hydrogen embrittlement, is a serious problem in the oil industry because of the potentially catastrophic nature of a failure of high strength carbon steel casing, tubing, or surface equipment. Inhibition is not a reliable means to prevent SSC because treatment interruptions could lead to failure. Control of SSC is accomplished by carefiil specification and quality control of equipment for sour wells. Materials that are acceptable for service in sour enviromnents are defined in NACE Standard MR0175. This standard is updated annually. 

The volume of reported work concerning the environmentally assisted cracking of aluminium alloys, particularly the Al-Zn-Mg type, is quite phenomenal and cannot adequately be reviewed in this general update. 

ZENCRACK takes an uncracked finite element mesh and inserts one or more user-specified cracks before submitting the model for analysis. Results are processed automatically and the mesh updated ready for the next finite element analysis of the advanced crack position. 

The inspections were performed by visual methods. Cracking in the core plate was observed in the rim near the welds of the rim to the plate after 19 on-line years of operation. GE subsequently issued SIL 588 [5.16], which updated their position regarding safety significance and provided specific recommendations for inspection. After review, the USNRC concluded that it was reasonable to expect future core plate ring and top guide cracking in U.S. BWRs [5.17]. 

GE SIL 588R1 (05/18/95) Top Guide and Core Plate Cracking Inspections of the core shroud in a non-GE BWR located outside the United States have revealed significant cracking. The core shroud material was 347 SS, which is a niobium stabilized austenitic stainless steel. This SIL revision provides an update and clarification of SIL No. 588, which is now void. This revision is based on feedback from BWR owners who inqrlemented the original recormnendations found in SIL No 588. This SIL is not applicable to BWR/6s. [6.241...

Sinee the early 1970 s bed crackers have been steadily updated to achieve residence times in the 2 second range by revamping to riser cracking. In riser cracking, contact time is kept to a minimum by forcing the oil vapors to flow cocurrently with catalyst at high velocity in a riser pipe. New FCC designs have incorporated riser reactors as standard for nearly 20 years. 

The earliest findings on the physical mechanisms of failure due to stress cracking were described by Stuart [258], Morbitzer [259], and Kambour [260]. The significance of this problem for the plastics industry has been documented by the creation of the continuously updated website www.ESC-plastics.com, which provides the most important data on stress cracking behavior of plastics [162]. 

The first recognized case of environmentally induced corrosion was that of seasonal cracking of brass in the rainy season. It was a classical example of SCC of brass in ammoniacal environment. Soon upon being realized as a major mechanism, it became the subject of intense research and a brief review of literature would show that thousands of papers have been written on the subject. The most intriguing is the mechanism of stress corrosion cracking and stress corrosion crack propagation. A full discussion of the mechanism is beyond the scope of this chapter. An online search would reveal thousands of articles and update references. Four basic categories of mechanisms have been proposed ...
