Intermediate test vessel V-8, a 152-mm-thick vessel fabricated of SA533, grade B, class 1 steel, was pressurized to failure at -23°C. The vessel contained a fatigue-sharpened notch adjacent to a half-bead weld repair that had not been stress relieved. Residual stresses and fracture toughnesses were determined before the pressure test by measurements on a prototypical weld, and fracture predictions were made by linear elastic fracture analysis. Predictions agreed well with test results, demonstrating the important influence of high residual stresses on fracture behavior.
Mind, brain, and education (MBE) science research continues to produce valuable results about brain development and the learning process—research that can and should inform education reform. Given the link between teacher efficacy and student learning outcomes, MBE is a discipline with considerable promise to help close gaps in school and teacher quality and student achievement. Yet, in our experience working with thousands of K‐12 teachers, very few have been trained to adapt their instructional strategies in ways that are informed by MBE research. Research on what helps and hinders learning exists, but, as yet, effective and efficient ways to translate it into classroom practice are rare. This article presents a case study of how one school is bridging the gap between MBE research and its integration into the classroom, a gap that was once deemed “a bridge too far” to cross. It also suggests a series of steps that form a possible translational pathway for teachers, school leaders, and policymakers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
