It is my pleasant duty to welcome you all most warmly to this meeting, which is one of the many events stimulated by the advisory committee of the William and Mary Trust on Science and Technology and Medicine, under the Chairmanship of Sir Arnold Burgen, the immediate past Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. This is a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the British Academy, whose President, Sir Randolph Quirk, will be Chairman this afternoon, and it covers Science and Civilization under William and Mary, presumably with the intention that the Society would cover Science if the Academy would cover Civilization. The meeting has been organized by Professor Rupert Hall, a Fellow of the Academy and also well known to the Society, who is now Emeritus Professor of the History of Science and Technology at Imperial College in the University of London; and Mr Norman Robinson, who retired in 1988 as Librarian to the Royal Society after 40 years service to the Society.

Historical Contribution

The motivation of this paper is to highlight the importance of the work carried out during the last decade by Prof. Haagensen and Prof. Berge at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU, with the aim to inspire and motivate young engineers to continue their important and valuable research within fatigue and fracture. This paper will focus on their historical contribution to the research within fatigue and fracture of offshore and ship structures. Stig Berge is a professor of Marine Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU. He has spent his academic carrier focusing on fatigue of offshore and ship structures; he has published more than 70 papers and articles in well-known journals and conferences since 80’s. Per Jahn Haagensen is currently an Emeritus professor at Department of Mechanical Engineering and Logistic Faculty of Technology. He has spent his whole research carrier within fatigue and fracture related topics mainly for the offshore industry. He is especially known for the different fatigue improvement methods which have been developed since the 90’s. He has until recently been an active member of the International Institute of Welding (IIW). This article aims to present their main findings and conclusions from their long academic carrier. While the authors have strived to convey in a single paper an overview of the careers and important contributions, the Professors themselves may well have chosen to place a different emphasis on their work.
