Abstract: In this study the plane elasticity problem for a nonhomogeneous layer containing a crack perpendicular to the boundaries is considered. It is assumed that the Young’s modulus of the medium ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to determine the plastic limit moment for cylindrical vessels with a nozzle under in-plane moment loading. Three full scale test models with different d/D ratios ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the strength behavior and plastic limit pressure of hot-tapped pipelines under an internal pressure load. Two full scale test models were fabricated ...
