(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)The corrosion fatigue resistance of pressure vessel steels in simulated light water reactor coolant water is greatly influenced by the mechanical factor such as strain rate, environmental factor ... -
Limit Load of Anisotropic Components Using the M-Beta Multiplier Method
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)The mβ-multiplier method is based on Mura’s extended variational theorems in plasticity, and has been applied previously to isotropic components containing notches and cracks. Lower bound limit ... -
Mechanisms and Modeling Comparing HB7 and A723 High Strength Pressure Vessel Steels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)HB7, an ultra-clean, high strength pressure vessel steel manufactured in France, is compared to A723 steel. This steel, suggested as an improved pressure vessel material is currently being ... -
Mixed Mode Loading of an Interface Crack Between Graded Creeping Solids
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)Interface cracks are seldom subjected to pure Mode I conditions. Stationary cracks between two distinct, bonded elastic-creep materials subjected to remotely applied mixed mode loading are simulated ... -
Influence of Crack Orientation and Crosshead Speed on the Fracture Toughness of PVC Pipe Materials
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)In many modern engineering applications, designers and manufacturers of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes are interested in the evaluation of fracture toughness under several operation conditions. The ... -
Stress and Fracture Analysis of Ceramic Lined, Composite or Steel Jacketed Pressure Vessels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)Stress and fracture analysis of ceramic-lined cannon pressure vessels is described, for a Si3N4 or SiC liner and A723 steel or carbon-epoxy jacket and with an initial residual interface pressure ... -
A Study of the Residual Stress Distribution in an Autofrettaged, Thick-Walled Cylinder With Cross-Bore
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)It may be necessary to provide a radial opening such as gas evacuator holes, or an opening to operate the unlocking of the bolt mechanism by means of exhaust gases, in a gun barrel, which ... -
Residual Stresses and Distortion in Boiler Tube Panels With Welded Overlay Cladding
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)In this study, finite element models are developed to analyze and predict the transient temperature profiles, residual stresses, and distortion incurred during deposition of protective overlay ... -
The Performance of Pressure Vessel Using Concentric Double Cylindrical High Explosive
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)The detonation pressure from the steady detonation of high explosives is a characteristic. Nevertheless, in materials processing using high explosives, there are cases when the detonation pressure ... -
Contact Stress Evaluation of Nonlinear Gaskets Using Dual Kriging Interpolation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)The leakage behavior of bolted joint is very much dictated by the gasket contact stress. In particular, the non-uniform distribution of this stress in the radial direction caused by the flange ... -
A Re-Autofrettage Procedure for Mitigation of Bauschinger Effect in Thick Cylinders
