Abstract: In this paper, detailed weld residual stress analyses are presented for a typical multi-pass girth weld in Type 316L stainless steel pipe with r/t ratio of 25. Advanced finite element procedures ...

Abstract: In this paper, some of the important controlling parameters governing weld residual stress distributions are presented for girth welds in pipe and vessel components, based on a large number of ...

Abstract: Recent rapid advances in developing mesh-insensitive structural stress methods are summarized in this paper. The new structural stress methods have been demonstrated to be effective in reliably ...

Abstract: In this paper, we first discuss some of the properties of the crack-tip sectors for perfectly plastic materials under plane-stress conditions. Then starting with the plane-stress mixed-mode ...

Abstract: Welding-induced residual stresses are usually regarded as secondary stresses and therefore not accounted for in the structural analysis. This treatment, however, was brought into question with the welding research community ...

Abstract: In this paper, the recent advances in weld residual stress modeling procedures are first reviewed within the context of pressure vessel and piping applications. A typical pipe girth weld was ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments have been performed to investigate the recession of soft cliffs due to oblique wave actions. The experiments were conducted in a wave tank with irregular waves. A test cliff was constructed of wet ...

Abstract: Previous studies on tidal water table dynamics in unconfined coastal aquifers have focused on the inland propagation of oceanic tides in the cross-shore direction based on the assumption of a straight coastline. Here, ...
