Abstract: The tube-to-tubesheet joint strength is measured in terms of interfacial pressure between the tube’s outer surface and tubesheet bore. The strength of a rolled joint is influenced by several ...

Abstract: An experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of roller expansion of heat exchanger tubes in enlarged tubesheet holes on joint strength, tube wall reduction (i.e., thinning), ...

Abstract: The tube-to-tubesheet joint strength is measured in terms of residual contact pressure between the tube’s outer surface and tubesheet hole surfaces. The joint integrity is affected by several ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation conducted to evaluate the effect of initial tube-tubesheet diametral clearance on the integrity of roller-expanded tube-to-tubesheet ...
