Estimation of Stress Corrosion Cracking Growth Behavior Under Weld Residual Stress in the Bottom of a Reactor Pressure Vessel by Finite Element Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method for evaluating crack growth by repeatedly modeling and analyzing the transitional crack shapes is developed for a general computing environment in which a commercial finite element preprocessor and analysis code ...
Simulation of Stress Corrosion Cracking in In Core Monitor Housing of Nuclear Power Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the incore monitor (ICM) housing of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV), residual stress has been widely reported to cause stress corrosion cracking (SCC) damage in the weld heataffected zone. For this reason, it is important ...
Development of Stress Intensity Factors for Subsurface Flaws in Plates Subjected to Polynomial Stress Distributions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions for subsurface flaws near the free surfaces of components, which are known to be important in engineering applications, have not been provided yet. Thus, in this paper, SIF ...
