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 ...
