Abstract: The pipe displacement and tearing modulus solutions are derived for pipes containing a uniform depth internal flaw under bending moment or axial loading. The tearing modulus solution is derived ...

Abstract: A method of analyzing internal surface circumferential cracks in ductile reactor piping is presented. The method utilizes an alternate but equivalent definition of the J-integral based on nonlinear ...

Abstract: An analysis for crack instability in an elastic-plastic strain hardening material is presented which utilizes the J-integral and the tearing modulus parameter, T. A center-cracked panel of finite ...
