Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine limit loads for pipe elbows subjected to in-plane bending moments that tend to close the elbow (i.e., decrease its radius of curvature), and the ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of pressure on the strain and stress analysis of pipe elbows subjected to in-plane bending moments. A finite element model for the bend ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine limit loads for pipe elbows subjected to inplane bending moments that tend to open the elbow (i.e., increase its radius of curvature), and the ...

Abstract: The paper presents an application of iterative elastic techniques for the determination of elasto-plastic stress-strain fields, limit and shakedown loads. The iterative elastic method relies on ...
