Analysis of Burst Conditions of Shielded Pressure Vessels Subjected to Space Debris Impact
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The present paper summarizes the results obtained from impacts on shielded pressure vessels and analyzes the conditions under which bursting of a shielded pressure vessels occur that are damaged ... -
Finite Element Modeling of Fatigue Damage Using a Continuum Damage Mechanics Approach
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)In this paper, a fatigue model formulated in the framework of the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is presented. The model is based on an explicit definition of fatigue damage and introduces ... -
Optimum Global Failure Prediction Model of Steam Generator Tube With Two Parallel Axial Through-Wall Cracks
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The 40% of wall criterion, which is generally used for the plugging of steam generator tubes, is applied only to a single crack. In the previous study (Moon et al. (2002)), a total number ... -
Determination of Conditional Probability of Dynamic Ductile Axial Crack Arrest for Conventionally-Rolled, Lower-Toughness Linepipe Materials
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)This paper presents an analytical procedure to predict the conditional probability of dynamic ductile axial crack arrest within one pipe joint length for pipeline materials operating at temperature ... -
Temperature Distribution and Thermal Stress Analysis of Ball-Tank Subjected to Solar Radiation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The ball tank of the research reactor CIRUS is exposed to solar radiation. The ambient temperature undergoes seasonal and diurnal variation. The resulting thermal stress could be significant for ... -
Stress Concentration Effects in Short Cylindrical Vessels With Holes Subjected to Tension: A Complete Account
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Whenever regular geometric discontinuities are present the so called stress concentration factors concept is widely used in both analysis and design of loaded components especially when subjected ... -
Review of Ultrasonic Phased Arrays for Pressure Vessel and Pipeline Weld Inspections
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Major improvements in weld inspection are obtained using Phased Array technology with capability for beam steering, electronic scanning, focusing, and sweeping the ultrasonic beams. Electronic ... -
In-Line Nondestructive Inspection of Mechanical Dents on Pipelines With Guided Shear Horizontal Wave Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Circumferential guided ultrasonic Shear Horizontal (SH) wave Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) pairs mounted on a mobile fixture in a through-transmission mode were used for detection and ... -
A Natural Focusing Low Frequency Guided Wave Experiment for the Detection of Defects Beyond Elbows
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Long range ultrasonic guided wave inspection is advancing rapidly and is quite commonplace today. Benefits of using longitudinal or torsional modes are being established in special circumstances ... -
Editor’s Farewell Note
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)It has been my great privilege to serve as Editor of the ASME Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology (JPVT) from 1993 to 2005. The JPVT, the technical voice of the Pressure Vessels and Piping ... -
Guided Wave Focusing Mechanics in Pipe
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Guided waves can be used in pipe inspection over long distances. Presented in this paper is a beam focusing technique to improve the S∕N ratio of the reflection from a tiny defect. Focusing ... -
Guided Wave Propagation Mechanics Across a Pipe Elbow
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Wave propagation across a pipe elbow region is complex. Subsequent reflected and transmitted waves are largely deformed due to mode conversions at the elbow. This prevents us to date from ... -
Bottom End-Closure Design Optimization of DOT-39 Non-Refillable Refrigerant Cylinders
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)This study addresses the problem of stability (standing of cylinders upright) of DOT-39 nonrefillable refrigerant cylinders using both experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) approaches. ... -
The Effect of Bends on the Propagation of Guided Waves in Pipes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The practical testing of pipes in a pipe network has shown that there are issues concerning the propagation of ultrasonic guided waves through bends. It is therefore desirable to improve the ... -
Design of Two-Dimensional Ultrasonic Phased Array Transducers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)Two-dimensional (2D) phased arrays have the potential to significantly change the way in which engineering components in safety critical industries are inspected. In addition to enabling a ... -
A Guided Wave Plate Experiment for a Pipe
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)The plate approximation of a pipe is a topic discussed for decades. Rules have been established to make the comparisons. Presented here is a related topic, but one to answer the question of ... -
