New Method for Design of Flat Steel Ribbon-Wound Pressure Vessels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)It has been observed that the degree of contact between layers and the residual stresses caused by pre-tension winding of ribbons does not influence bursting pressure of flat steel ribbon-wound ... -
Mechanical Behaviors of Bolted Joint in Various Clamping Configurations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)In a bolted joint, failures usually initiate at the first root of the bolt thread. However, rupture around the bolt head is sometimes reported for a tap bolt because of high stresses produced ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study of Multi-Pass Welding Process of Pipe-Flange Joints
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)Residual deformations of pipe-flange joints due to thermal strains caused by the multi-pass welding procedure in a manufacturing process are investigated both experimentally and numerically (FEM). ... -
The Support of Horizontal Vessels Containing High-Temperature Fluids—A Design Study
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)This paper investigates the behavior of horizontal cylindrical vessels, subjected to thermal loading by high-temperature fluid, where the saddles are fixed to the supporting structure. In order ... -
Effects of Torsional Buckling on the Cleavage Failure of Low-Alloy Steel Tension Pipe Specimens
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)The local approach criterion of fracture mechanics, initially developed by Beremin for brittle cleavage fracture, is applied here to A508 class 3 low-alloy ferritic steel. This criterion, based ... -
Creep Rupture of Anisotropic Pipes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)The problem of creep rupture of pipes from an anisotropic material is studied. The authors suggest a method describing the results of creep rupture tests on thin-walled pipes under complex ... -
Sizing Design Sensitivity Analysis and Optimization of a Hemispherical Shell With a Nonradial Penetrated Nozzle
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)This paper presents a sizing optimization of a hemispherical shell with a nonradial penetrated nozzle, under internal pressure loading. The objective of the optimization is to decrease the stress ... -
Moments due to Thermal Stratification for a Uniform Beam With Spring End Conditions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998) -
Experimental Data on Seismic Response of Piping Components
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)Experimental data from the EPRI Piping and Fitting Dynamic Reliability Program are evaluated. High-amplitude, seismic time history loads were applied to 32 piping components in a cantilevered ... -
Dome Reversal of Metal Beverage Containers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)Dome reversal in metal beverage containers refers to the event when the dome at the bottom of the containers snaps through due to overpressurization. This paper presents a combined experimental ... -
Shakedown of Torispherical Heads Using Plastic Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)The condition of shakedown is examined for torispherical heads. The reason for using plastic analysis is to account for the strengthening that heads experience when subjected to internal pressure. ... -
Status of Code Cases Related to Application of Risk-Informed Inservice Inspection in ASME Code Section XI
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)ASME Code Section XI Cases N-577 and N-578, for application of risk-informed technology to examination of piping systems in nuclear power plants, are proceeding, with review and acceptance by ... -
Collapse Strength of Complex Metal Shell Intersections by the Effective Area Method
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)Cone-cone intersections and cone-cylinder intersections with or without ring stiffeners are common features in silos, tanks, pressure vessels, piping components, and other industrial shell structures. ... -
A Case Study of Feedwater Heater Life Management
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)In the late nineteen eighties, electric utility companies, such as Kansas City Power and Light (KCPL), recognized the viability of extending the life of power plants by repairing or replacing ... -
J-Estimation Schemes for Internal Circumferential and Axial Surface Cracks in Pipe Elbows
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)In the spirit of GE/EPRI fracture mechanics procedure, estimation schemes for the crack driving force for circumferentially and axially surface-cracked pressurized elbows subjected to bending are ... -
Strain-Rate-Dependent Constitutive Equations for Concrete
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)This paper summarizes the results of a comprehensive experimental study to quantify the effects of strain rate on concrete compressive and tensile strengths. Direct compression and splitting ... -
Equivalence for Two Interacting Parallel Cracks
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1998)Crack failure prediction is a prerequisite to assess the safety margin for pressure vessels with interacting parallel cracks. Therefore, an alternating iteration method with approximated image ... -
