Abstract: Techniques have been devised for inducing consistent residual stress distributions into cantilever beams and for measuring their variation through the section. Commercial vibratory stress relief ...

Abstract: Maximum stress intensities are presented for an equal diameter unreinforced cylinder/cylinder pipe intersection of mean diameter/thickness ratio 24.7, when subjected to the complete set of six ...

Abstract: The results from a previous finite element parametric study by the authors on the effective stress factors (ESFs) occurring in piping branch junctions under internal pressure loading are used ...

Abstract: The effects of chord axial compressive stress on the ultimate strength of a DT joint subjected to brace compression have been studied both experimentally and numerically. Three experimental load cases were considered, one ...

Abstract: The results from cyclic internal pressure tests on two nominally identical stainless steel type 316 torispherical drumheads are presented. The effect of cold creep is investigated and is shown ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes results from 420 tests on 23 fabricated or machined, pressurized piping branch junctions subjected to simulated seismic loadings that induce resonant in-plane run pipe ...

Abstract: This paper presents some of the results obtained from fifteen tests performed to investigate the ratcheting behavior of fabricated piping branch junctions subjected to steady internal pressure ...
