Abstract: In the past few decades, cracks because of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) have been detected in the dissimilar weld joints using nickel-based alloy in piping system of boiling water reactors (BWRs). Thus, the structural ...

Abstract: Probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) analysis is expected to be a rational method for structural integrity assessment because it can consider the uncertainties of various influence factors and evaluate the quantitative ...

Abstract: To predict fracture behavior for ductile materials, some ductile fracture simulation methods different from classical approaches have been investigated based on appropriate models of ductile fracture. For the future use ...
