Abstract: A finite difference hydrodynamic code was developed to determine the pressures in a dumbbell pipe configuration when a through crack in the pipe wall was permitted to run along the length. ...

Abstract: A finite difference shell code which considers transverse shear and rotatory inertia is used to calculate the dynamic behavior of axially running cracks. Short cracks were instantaneously introduced ...

Abstract: The dynamic motion of an axially oriented through crack in a pressurized cylinder was studied numerically. Both small and large deflection theories were used, with the results suggesting that ...

Abstract: A dynamic finite element code was used to compute the dynamic stress intensity factors and crack arrest stress intensity factor which are related to the crack run-arrest response in a tapered ...

Abstract: A dynamic finite element code was used to compute the dynamic stress intensity factors and crack arrest stress intensity factors which are related to the crack run-arrest responses in longitudinal ...

Abstract: Stress intensity factors of corner cracks at the bore of a rotating disk are estimated from the stress intensity factor of a quarter-elliptical crack in a quarter infinite solid and pressurized ...

Abstract: The experimental facilities and the numerical modeling for studying dynamic axial rupture of pressurized subsize pipes are reviewed. Selected results from 46 pipe rupture tests and related numerical ...

Abstract: The split-ring model is used to simulate full-scale pipe rupture experiments. Using experimentally measured pressures and pipe material characteristics, the model correctly predicts crack extension ...
