Carl E. Jaske, an ASME Fellow and senior project manager at CC Technologies Inc. of Dublin, Ohio, was honored by ASME for his contributions to the field of pressure vessel and piping technology. He was cited particularly for advancing the state of the art in the development of remaining life assessment of structures and equipment with emphasis on in-service aging, stress-corrosion degradation, and failure of engineering components.

Jaske was rewarded for his efforts with the ASME Pressure Vessel and Piping (PVP) Medal, which was presented to him during the Society's Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference in San Antonio.

A resident of Upper Arlington, Ohio, Jaske joined CC Technologies Inc. in 1990 after working at Battelle in Columbus, Ohio, for 23 years. A major portion of his work since joining CC Technologies has addressed the mechanical integrity of oil and gas pipelines. He developed a model for predicting the failure and remaining life of pipelines with local defects, including crack-like flaws, and commercialized the CorLAS computer program to make the model easily usable by engineers.

Jaske is now leading project work in the area of facility integrity, typically incorporating both analytical assessments and experimental evaluations of failure lives and material damage, and he has developed the www.Fitness4Service.com Web site.

During his career, Jaske has evaluated the effects of elevated temperatures and corrosive environments on mechanical properties of metallic materials. He has served on industry and government advisory groups for life extension and fitness-for-service assessment of engineering equipment and facilities. He also developed computer programs for life assessment of welded steam pipes, reformer furnace tubes, and pressure vessels.

Jaske has authored or co-authored more than 70 articles in technical journals and conference proceedings, and has served as associate editor of ASME's Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology.

Jaske has been an active member of the Society since 1968. He served as a member of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Subgroup on Fatigue Strength and the Working Group on Elevated Temperature Design for 10 years, and served as session developer, volume editor, technical program chair, and chair for PVP Conferences. He has also served as publications chair, vice chair, and chair of the PVP Division; historian and president of the PVP Senate; chair of the ASME Central Ohio Section; and chair of the Pipeline Systems Division.

Among his current efforts, Jaske is the ASME appointed member and current chairman of the board of directors for the International Pipeline Conference Foundation; chair of CREEP8 — The Eighth International Conference on Creep and Fatigue at Elevated Temperatures in San Antonio; and member at large of the ASME/American Petroleum Institute Joint Committee on Fitness for Service. He has been honored with many forms of ASME recognition.

Jaske earned bachelor's degrees in liberal arts and sciences (mathematics) and in general engineering in 1966, followed by a master's degree in theoretical and applied mechanics in 1967 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He earned his doctorate in metallurgical engineering in 1984 at Ohio State University. Jaske is a registered professional engineer in Ohio and Alaska.
