Fluid Pressures in Partially Liquid-Filled Horizontal Cylindrical Vessels Undergoing Impact Acceleration
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1994)An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the fluid pressures in partially liquid-filled vessels when they are suddenly accelerated by impact along the longitudinal axis. The ... -
Damage Ratio Prediction for Buried Pipelines Based on the Deformability of Pipelines and the Nonuniformity of Ground
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1994)Damage susceptibility of pipelines during an earthquake bears close correlation with both the degree of “deformability” and the degree of “nonuniformity” of subsurface ground in which the pipelines ... -
Risk-Based Considerations in Developing Strategies to Ensure Pipeline Integrity—Part I: Theory
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1994)As pipelines age, a flaw population that varies initially along the pipeline can advance in size and number. Analysis of the serviceability of pipelines based on either inline inspection or ... -
Allowable Shape Deviation in a Pressurized Cylinder
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1994)Presence of initial shape imperfection causes additional bending stresses to be developed in a pressurized cylinder. Although the bending stress will initially increase with pressure, it will ... -
Application of the Finite Element Method to the Quasi-Static Thermoelastic Analysis of Prestress in Multilayer Pressure Vessels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1994)Multilayered wrapped vessel technology utilizes the compressive prestress induced during construction process to gain a considerable advantage over the monoblock vessels. The compressive prestress ... -
Two-Phase Flow-Induced Vibration: An Overview (Survey Paper)
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1994)Two-phase flow exists in many industrial components. To avoid costly vibration problems, sound technology in the area of two-phase flow-induced vibration is required. This paper is an overview ... -
