Classical Versus Improved Thin Shell Theories: A Theoretical Argument or a Design Concern?
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)Differences in the response of thin nonshallow spherical shells resulting from the choice of the adopted shell theory (classical or improved) are addressed analytically and through a series of ... -
Elastic, Plastic, and Creep Buckling of Imperfect Cylinders Under Mechanical and Thermal Loading
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)Based on the concept of secant and tangent modulus, the nonlinear equilibrium and stability equations of thin cylindrical shells under axial compression, external pressure, or external fluid ... -
Crack Closure Effects on Fatigue Crack Growth Thresholds and Remaining Life in an HSLA Steel
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)The effects of crack closure on the near-threshold corrosion fatigue crack growth behavior of Mil S-24645 HSLA steel and its weld metal have been investigated in air, ASTM seawater at the ... -
Fracture Analysis of the NESC-1 Spinning Cylinder Experiment
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)This paper presents finite-element analyses of the cylinder specimen being used in the international Network for Evaluating Steel Components (NESC) large-scale spinning-cylinder project (NESC-1). ... -
Determination of Sample Size in Service Inspection
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)When performing inservice inspection on a large volume of identical components, it becomes an almost impossible task to inspect all those in which defects may exist, even if their failure ... -
Load Distribution Between Threads in Threaded Connections
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)Threaded connections are commonly employed in axial load-bearing equipment and pressure vessel components. There are a number of parameters that affect the load distribution between the threads ... -
Beam Motion With Unilateral Contact Constraints and Wear of Contact Sites
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)In the present paper, a computational algorithm is proposed for the motion of a beam which is constrained by unilateral contact at prescribed contact sites. Special attention is focused on the ... -
Automated System for Analyzing Stress Intensity Factors of Three-Dimensional Cracks: Its Application to Analyses of Two Dissimilar Semi-Elliptical Surface Cracks in Plate
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)This paper describes a new automated system for analyzing the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of three-dimensional cracks. A geometry model containing one or several three-dimensional cracks is ... -
An Experimental Investigation of the Interaction of Primary and Secondary Stresses in Fuel Plates
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)If the load is not relieved as a structure starts to yield, the induced stress is defined as primary stress. If the load relaxes, as a structure begins to yield the induced stress is defined ... -

A Simple Method of Calculating Lower-Bound Limit Loads for Axisymmetric Thin Shells
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)In this paper, a simple method for calculating lower-bound limit loads for shells is presented, based on Ilyushin’s and Ivanov’s generalized yield criterion, respectively, and using the elastic ... -
An Accurate Method of Evaluating Relaxation in Bolted Flanged Connections
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)Bolted flanged joint assemblies may begin to leak some time following a successful hydrostatic test. One of the reasons is that the gasket experiences a drop in its initial compressive stress ... -
Fatigue Design Curves for 6061-T6 Aluminum
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)A request has been made to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee that 6061-T6 aluminum be approved for use in the construction of Class 1 welded nuclear vessels so it can be used ... -
An Explicit Weight Function for Semi-Elliptical Surface Cracks
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)An explicit weight function which allows determination of the stress intensity factor for a semi-elliptical surface crack under arbitrary loading is proposed. It was derived by the approximate ... -
Minimum Weight Design of Pressure Components Using R-Nodes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)A simple procedure uses the r-nodes to achieve minimum weight design of mechanical components and structures. The method is based on two linear elastic finite element analyses (or more) in ... -

(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)This paper presents finite-element analyses of the cylinder specimen being used in the international Network for Evaluating Steel Components (NESC) large-scale spinning-cylinder project (NESC-1). ... -
Evaluation of the Method for Lowering Stress Concentration at the Thread Root of Bolted Joints With Modifications of Nut Shape
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)Many studies have been devoted to investigate how the maximum stress occurred in the bolted joint could be reduced. Patterson and Kenny suggest that a modified nut with a straight bevel at ... -
Notch-Stress Analysis by FE Submodeling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997)This paper presents experiences in detailed finite element analyses of pressure vessel components with respect to load-carrying capacity and fatigue strength. The application of the submodeling ... -
