Abstract: The Pressure Vessel Research Council (PVRC) was formed in 1945 by the Welding Research Council to encourage, promote, and conduct research in the field of pressure vessels and related pressure ...

Abstract: A closed-form Green’s function solution for the axisymmetric stresses in an elastic coil of superconducting magnets is presented, which provides the components of stress throughout the coil and ...

Abstract: A study supported by the American Petroleum Institute established that load and resistance factor design offers improvement in design and is supported by credible data, can yield improved designs ...

Abstract: A platform complex in the North Sea is used to illustrate development of reliability acceptance criteria. For platforms in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, reliability acceptance criteria ...

Abstract: An assessment of three offshore platforms in the Valhall field of the North Sea is described in this paper. Ultimate strength and reliability analyses were performed for the jacket-type platforms ...

Abstract: Experimental results, measured on and above a dimpled test surface placed on one wall of a channel, are given for Reynolds numbers from 1250 to 61,500 and ratios of air inlet stagnation ...

Abstract: A method is derived to detect and localize linear damage in a structure using the measured modal vibration parameters. This method is applicable when the vibration strain energy is stored in ...
