Abstract: A global limit load solution is derived in this paper for embedded off-set elliptical cracks in a plate under combined tension and bending, based on the net-section collapse principle. The new ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted on the crack growth behavior of a pressure vessel steel, 16MnR, in ambient air. Standard compact tension specimens were subjected to Mode I loading ...

Abstract: Uniaxial, torsion, and axial-torsion fatigue experiments were conducted on a pressure vessel steel, 16MnR, in ambient air. The uniaxial experiments were conducted using solid cylindrical specimens. ...
