Abstract: The results of a long-term (approximately 2-1/2 yr), high-temperature failure test of a pressurized nozzle-to-spherical-shell model made of a well-characterized heat of type 304 stainless steel ...

Abstract: If the load is not relieved as a structure starts to yield, the induced stress is defined as primary stress. If the load relaxes, as a structure begins to yield the induced stress is defined ...

Abstract: The DOE/OCDO sponsored Ultrasupercritical Steam Boiler Consortium is conducting thermal shock tests on austenitic and nickel-based materials to assess their use in thick-section boiler components. ...
