Abstract: Long-distance pipelines for the transport of oil and natural gas to onshore facilities are mainly fabricated by girth welding, which has been considered as a weak location for cracking. Pipeline rupture due to crack ...

Abstract: Solder bridging is one of the most serious defects of solder joint in fine pitch device assemblies. It is known that the generation of solder bridging is closely related to the forming process ...

Abstract: Engineering solutions for crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD) and J-integral estimations for pipelines with a surface crack are proposed based on parametric finite element (FE) analyses for various geometries, material ...
