Application of the Finite Element Method to the Nonlinear Inverse Heat Conduction Problem Using Beck’s Second Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The calculation of the surface temperature and surface heat flux from a measured temperature history at an interior point of a body is identified in the literature as the inverse heat conduction ...
Fracture Analysis of the NESC-1 Spinning Cylinder Experiment

An Evaluation of Analysis Methodologies for Predicting Cleavage Arrest of a Deep Crack in an RPV Subjected to PTS Loading Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several calculational procedures are compared for predicting cleavage arrest of a deep crack in the wall of a prototypical reactor pressure vessel (RPV) subjected to pressurized-thermal-shock (PTS) ...
Applications of Energy Release Rate Techniques to Part-Through Cracks in Experimental Pressure Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In nonlinear applications of computational fracture mechanics, energy release rate techniques are used increasingly for computing stress intensity parameters of crack configurations. Recently, deLorenzi ...
An Investigation of Cladding Effects on Shallow-Flaw Fracture Toughness of Reactor Pressure Vessel Steel Under Prototypic Biaxial Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Potential structural-integrity benefits or liabilities of the stainless steel cladding on the inner surface of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) are important considerations in the effort to refine ...
Use of Master Curve Technology for Assessing Shallow Flaws in a Reactor Pressure Vessel Material
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the NESC-IV project, an experimental/analytical program was performed to develop validated analysis methods for transferring fracture toughness data to shallow flaws in reactor pressure vessels ...
