Abstract: Fracture properties of an API X80 pipeline steel have been developed using a set of single edge notched bend (SENB) and single edge notched tension (SENT) specimens with shallow and deep ...

Abstract: This paper investigates plastic collapse failure behavior and analytical assessment methods for unequal wall transition joints in transmission pipelines. The objective is to (i) validate the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of yield-to-tensile strength ratio (Y∕T) on failure pressure of pipelines without and with corrosion defects. Based on deformation instability and finite ...

Abstract: To accurately characterize plastic yield behavior of metals in multiaxial stress states, a new yield theory, i.e., the average shear stress yield (ASSY) theory, is proposed in reference to the ...
