Abstract: In piping design analysis, the secondary stresses (displacement controlled) may have different design limits than primary stresses (load-controlled stresses). The current design limits for secondary stresses are based on ...

Abstract: Single-edge-notch-tension, SEN(T), specimens have been found to provide a good similitude for surface cracks in pipes, where a surface-cracked structure has lower constraint condition than single-edge notch bend, SEN(B) ...
