RISStructural Integrity Evaluation of Three-Dimensional-Printed Graphene-Reinforced Polylactic Acid Notched Plates Using Failure Assessment Diagrams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Failure assessment diagrams (FADs) constitute a well-known structural integrity evaluation tool that allows structural components containing crack-like defects to be assessed through a simultaneous analysis of fracture and ...
Analysis of the Difference Between the Reference Temperature Values Derived From Conventional and Mini-C(T) Specimens: Effect of the Number of Valid Fracture Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. The long-term-operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) requires a precise knowledge of the fracture toughness of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) materials. This property decreases with the irradiation level, ...
Validity of Toughness Measurements From Miniature Specimens Failing in Different Fracture Modes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using miniature compact tension (mini-C(T)) (4 mm thick, 0.16T) specimens to determine toughness in reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels permits the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature to be derived from small amounts ...
On the Possibility of Extending the Crack Length Criterion in the Master Curve Methodology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Master Curve (MC) methodology is a well-known approach utilized to characterize the ductile-to-brittle transition region (DBTR) of ferritic–pearlitic steels. This methodology was initially standardized in ASTM E1921 ...
