Abstract: A test program was conducted to investigate the inelastic response behavior of internally pressurized tubes subjected to dynamic bending and torsion loads. The basic experiment was a drop test ...

Abstract: This paper provides a comparison between test and analysis results for bursting of thin toroidal shells. Testing was done by pressurizing two toroidal shells until failure by bursting. An ...

Abstract: An approximate model for the elastic-plastic analysis of a pipe element under combined loading is developed. The model is obtained by generalizing a limit load solution for combined pressure, ...
