Abstract: With a purpose of identifying the failure mode and associating the ultimate strength of piping components against seismic integrity, many kinds of failure tests have been conducted for thick wall piping for light water ...

Abstract: A series of inelastic benchmark and parametric analyses was conducted on the tests of a pipe elbow and a piping system model made from carbon steel to investigate variabilities of elastic–plastic analysis results and clarify ...

Abstract: A new process for determination of inservice inspection (ISI) requirements was proposed on the basis of the system based code concept to realize effective and rational ISI by properly taking into account plantspecific ...

Abstract: A Code Case in the framework of the Nuclear Codes and Standards of Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) has been published to incorporate seismic design evaluation methodologies for piping systems by detailed ...
