Abstract: In order to develop a predicting method of residual stresses in fillet welded T- and I-joints, a concept of inherent strain, being regarded as a source of the residual stresses, was introduced. ...

Abstract: The source of residual stresses in the vicinity of a weld may be expressed in terms of inherent strains. The characteristics of the inherent strain distributions in butt welds are investigated. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new layer removal method for measurement of local residual stress through the thickness of clad plates is developed using inherent strain which is considered a source of ...

Abstract: An analytical model of dented tubular members is constructed. Using this model, an ultimate strength interaction relationship between axial force and biaxial bending moments is derived. The ...

Abstract: The efficiency of axial gas dispersion during ventilation with high-frequency oscillation (HFO) is improved by manipulating the oscillatory flow waveform such that intermittent oscillatory flow ...

Abstract: Intergranular stress corrosion cracking may occur in some specific conditions on the inner surface of the welded joints of stainless steel pipes which are furnished in nuclear plants. One of ...

Abstract: Fatigue crack growth prediction methods using three-dimensional finite element analyses were investigated to improve the predictability of part-through surface crack growth life. First, a direct ...
