Abstract: To assure the safe design of reactor vessels, the parameters of the fracture mechanics are evaluated for an assumed crack subjected to internal pressure and thermal loading. Several kinds of ...

Abstract: For the reliable operation of bellows under cyclic loadings at high temperatures, a rational evaluation method of life of bellows would be needed. Authors investigated simplified analysis methods ...

Abstract: Fatigue crack growth data obtained in the simulated BWR water environment were analyzed to establish a formula for reference fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) of austenitic stainless steels in ...
