Abstract: A method is described by which an empirical creep law, relating stress, strain, and strain rate, may be obtained from a single constant-load creep test. An example to illustrate the method ...

Abstract: Equations are developed for prediction of steady-state creep stresses and strain rates in a thick-walled tube under combined internal pressure and axial load. An analytical solution of the ...

Abstract: It is shown that for a tube in bending the steady-state bending creep rate may be greatly increased by the addition of internal pressure. If the maximum bending stress is small compared to ...

Abstract: A survey is presented of the experimental work which has been carried out on the abrasive wear of metals. The effect of variables such as surface hardness, abrasive hardness, abrasive particle ...

Abstract: A method based on fracture mechanics solutions for a circumferential crack is used to measure the distribution of axial residual stresses in the circumferential weld between two cylinders. The ...

Abstract: A new method is proposed for measuring the axial component of an axisymmetric residual stress field in thin-walled cylinders. The specific application considered is determination of the stress ...

Abstract: It is shown that stress intensity solutions for axisymmetric cracks in thin-walled cylinders may be obtained for any prescribed axial stress distribution from plane strain solutions. This approach ...
