RISShallow Flaws Under Biaxial Loading Conditions—Part I: The Effect of Specimen Size on Fracture Toughness Values Obtained From Large-Scale Cruciform Specimens1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A technology to determine shallow-flaw fracture toughness of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels is being developed. This technology is for application to the safety assessment of RPVs containing ...
Shallow Flaws Under Biaxial Loading Conditions—Part II: Application of a Weibull Stress Analysis of the Cruciform Bend Specimen Using a Hydrostatic Stress Criterion1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cruciform beam fracture mechanics specimens have been developed in the Heavy Section Steel Technology Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to introduce a prototypic, far-field, out-of-plane ...
Heavy-Section Steel Technology and Irradiation Programs—Retrospective and Prospective Views
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In 1965, the Atomic Energy Commission, at the advice of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, initiated the process that resulted in the establishment of the Heavy Section Steel Technology ...
