Abstract: A normalized fine grain carbon low alloy steel, P355NL1 (TStE355), intended for service in welded pressure vessels, where notch toughness is of high importance, has been investigated. Low and ...

Abstract: Although intensive research has been carried out to understand the fatigue behavior of steel notched components, under variable amplitude loading, no definite and general robust models have been ...

Abstract: Current fatigue analyses of metallic structures undergoing variable amplitude loading, including pressure vessels, are mostly based on linear cumulative damage concepts, as proposed by Palmgren and ...

Abstract: In this paper, a fatigue model formulated in the framework of the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is presented. The model is based on an explicit definition of fatigue damage and introduces ...

Abstract: The common design practice of pressure vessels subjected to variable amplitude loading is based on the application of a linear damage summation rule, also known as the Palmgren–Miner’s rule. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation about the plasticity correction factor, Ke, proposed in the Part 3-Clause 18 of the EN13445 standard, for correction of the elastic stress ranges exceeding ...

Abstract: This Technical Brief presents an overview about the current methodologies for elastoplastic calculation of structures undergoing cyclic loading, aiming a fatigue assessment according to the local ...
