Abstract: On the basis of the finiteness of the flow strength of structural materials, the pressures permitted by current methods of pressure vessel design are limited. In this paper the analysis of a ...

Abstract: Design of high reliability nulcear components for use at elevated temperatures is considered. The design is related to the design of structures at lower temperatures and structures with lesser ...

Abstract: One thousand-hr beam bending creep tests at 1000° F (537.7° C) on four, one-in. (25.4-mm) deep stainless steel specimens of seven-in. gage length with constant end moment were run. ...

Abstract: Two new processes of cylinder autofrettage (prestress) have been analyzed and compared to the standard high pressure autofrettage. By means of a highly improved stress intensity distribution at ...

Abstract: The method of near-contact explosive forming with controlled media is defined and described. Economical examples of the shaping of flat or curved plates with four flat edges, expansion of tubes ...

Abstract: The buckling rules for nuclear components in elevated temperature service have been recently modified by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Committee. The specific modifications and some ...

Abstract: The estimated tube life of the Incoloy 800 tubes of a solar receiver panel under nonaxisymmetric loading is compared for various material property assumptions. The basis of each life evaluation ...

Abstract: The elastic behavior of a long cylinder subjected to equilibrated radial loads is considered. The problem is formulated by the use of shell theory equations. Although numerical results are ...
