Abstract: The stress states of elbow and tee pipes are complex and different from those of straight pipes. The low-cycle fatigue lives of elbows and tees cannot be predicted by Manson's universal slope method; however, a revised ...

Abstract: Low cycle fatigue tests and finite element (FEM) analysis were conducted using 100A pipe bend specimens made of STPT410 carbon steel with and without local wall thinning local wall thinning was machined on the inside of ...

Abstract: The stress states of elbow pipes are complex and different from those of straight pipes. Manson's universal slope method cannot predict the lowcycle fatigue lives of elbow pipes under combined cyclic bending and internal ...

Abstract: One of the concerned technical issues in the nuclear piping under operation is pipe wall thinning caused by flow accelerated corrosion. This paper focuses on influence of internal pressure on low cycle fatigue life of pipe ...

Abstract: Boiling heat transfer suffers deteriorations under subatmospheric conditions, which can be attributed to a shortage of viable nucleation sites at declining pressures. In this work, the possibility of enhancing low-pressure ...
