Abstract: A modification of the notch stress procedure for fatigue-life analysis is presented. The importance of considering the mechanics of the specimen and the effects of the notch on specimen mechanics ...

Abstract: The bases for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, fatigue evaluation procedures, the fracture mechanics approach to fatigue life analysis, and the notch stress analysis method are ...

Abstract: The results of full-size pressure vessel tests are summarized and used to demonstrate the validity of design procedures developed by others. In particular, design for low cycle (plastic) fatigue ...
