Abstract: The stress intensity factors (SIFs) for pipes containing semi-elliptical surface cracks with large aspect ratios were calculated by finite-element analysis (FEA). The cracks were circumferential and axial surface cracks ...

Abstract: In this study, the residual stresses generated within the overlaywelded cladding and base material of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel were measured for aswelded and postwelded heattreated conditions using the sectioning ...

Abstract: We conducted fracture toughness testing on five types of commercially manufactured steel with different ductiletobrittle transition temperatures. This was performed using specimens of different sizes and shapes, including ...
