On the Seismic Behavior of Unanchored Liquid Containers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)This work presents a combined analytical/numerical methodology, predicting the behaviorof unanchored liquid storage tanks subjected to seismic excitation. First, the dynamic response of the system ... -
Wear Studies of Materials for Tubes and Antivibration Bars in Nuclear Steam Generators
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)Wear occurs as a result of relative motion at the interface of two contacting bodies. In nuclear power steam generators, high flow rates can induce vibration of the tubes resulting in wear ... -
Frangible Roof Joint Behavior of Cylindrical Oil Storage Tanks Designed to API 650 Rules
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)This paper presents the results of an investigation into the frangible joint behavior of tanks designed to API 650 rules. In such tanks, the roof-to-shell joint is intended to fail in the ... -
A Case Study of a Proposed Monitor for Industrial Process Fouling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)Fouling of a piping system refers to the formation of deposits on pipe walls, which can severely impede fluid flow. The food, dairy, and chemical processing industries usually combat the fouling ... -
Limit Analysis of a Spherical Shell Under Axial Loading on Central Boss
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The purpose of this study is to investigate the collapse load of a spherical shell under axial loading on a central boss. The investigation was carried out using an existing lower-bound plastic ... -
Failure Cause Analysis—A Structural Approach
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The paper presents a methodology to analyze failure cause of a system using structural approach based on digraph and matrix method. Failure causality digraph models the failure cause considering ... -
Creep Buckling of Ovalized Tubes Under External Pressure
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)In order to get a better understanding of the role of various parameters on the creep collapse phenomenon of long circular tubes, an experimental and numerical program has been undertaken. It ... -
Reliability of Steam Generator Tubes With Axial Cracks
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)An approach for estimating the failure probability of tubes containing through-wall axial cracks has already been proposed by the authors. It is based on probabilistic fracture mechanics and ... -
Influence of Internal Pressure on the Impact Behavior of Steel Pipelines
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)This article presents some experimental data recorded from 54 impact tests on pressurized mild steel pipes. The pipes were fully clamped across a span which was ten times the outside pipe ... -
The Influence of the Nonhomogeneous Temperature Field on the Optimal Winding Prestress of the Compound Pressure Vessel
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The completed ribbon-winding theory, including temperature loading of the high-pressure compound vessel, was proposed. The influence of the bending stress in the wound ribbon is taken into account. ... -
A Study on the Buckling of Rectangular Bellows Under Pressure Loads
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)We have studied the buckling behavior of rectangular bellows under pressure loads. Our final objective is to establish the design guidelines for the rectangular bellows of an experimental fusion ... -
Constraint Effects of Clad on Underclad Crack
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The finite element method is applied to two-dimensional elastic-plastic analyses for underclad crack problems. The analyses are performed for rectangular specimens with an underclad crack, which ... -
