Abstract: A boundary collocation method for estimating the stress intensity factors for a through-thickness interior crack in a plate of arbitrary geometry and arbitrary in-plane loading on the plate ...

Abstract: An elastic-plastic plane strain analysis of blunt notched compact tension specimens used in fatigue crack initiation tests is presented. Using this analysis it is shown that under conditions of ...

Abstract: Synthetic fuel projects will require very large oxygen facilities. This paper examines the issues that must be resolved in the design of these facilities. It surveys the major items of equipment, ...
