Research & Theories
The Science Behind the Argument
Investigating Fluid Transients, Failure and Explosion Mechanisms
Leishear Stress Theory
Research describing how water hammer can generate stresses associated with cracking and failure in pipes and water mains.
Leishear Fatigue Corrosion Theory
Research examining relationships between water-hammer stresses, fatigue and accelerated corrosion in piping systems.
Leishear Explosion Theories
Research proposing mechanisms connecting fluid transients and water or gas hammer phenomena with explosions in industrial systems. The book specifically identifies these three theories as scientific foundations supporting its broader discussion.
From Research to Publication
Leishear’s professional material documents research involving fluid mechanics, piping design, vibrations, failure analysis, fluid machinery and industrial explosions, supported by extensive technical publications.
