Fatigue and Creep-Fatigue Testing of Bellows at Elevated Temperature
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)Fatigue and creep-fatigue tests at elevated temperature were conducted on two different-sized bellows, φ 1100 mm and φ 300 mm in nominal inner diameter, to investigate the fatigue life and the ... -
J-Estimation Procedure Based on Moire Interferometry Data
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)The accuracy of the approximate J -estimation procedure evaluated along rectangular contours in the elastic and the HRR crack tip fields was assessed. The path independency of the approximate ... -
Elastic-Plastic Analysis of Hydride Blisters in Zircaloy-2 Pressure Tubes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)The possibility that stresses might be produced as a consequence of expansion resulting from the transformation of zirconium to zirconium hydride in the form of blisters was investigated. ... -
A Methodology for Evaluating the Integrity of Longitudinally Seam-Welded Steam Pipes in Fossil Plants
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)Two recent catastrophic failures of steam pipes have generated great concern about the integrity of steam pipes in fossil power plants. In the wake of these failures, extensive pipe inspections ... -
Simplified Estimation of Creep-Rupture Strength for Notched Tensile Specimens of Austenitic Stainless Steels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)A method for characterizing the creep-rupture strength of notched tensile specimens subjected to constant membrane loading has been developed. This method resolves the apparent contradiction between ... -
Design and Life Prediction of Fired Heater Tubes in the Creep Range
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)Realistic fired heater tube-life predictions are essential to safe and economical design, proactive inspection strategy and meaningful tube retirement evaluations. The traditional method of heater ... -
Measurements of Thermal Contact Resistance for Steel Layered Vessels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)An experimental procedure for measuring the thermal contact resistance of layered specimens under normal stress is described. Results for as-rolled SA-516-70 steel layers are used to establish a ... -
Status of Research on Environmentally Assisted Cracking in LWR Pressure Vessel Steels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)This paper reviews collaborative work that has the objective of defining, from first principles, the environmentally assisted crack growth rates in the Type A533B or A508 low-alloy steel/water ... -
Determination of Crack Arrest Toughness at High Temperatures Using Compact Specimens
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)In order to determine the influence of the test temperature on the crack arrest toughness, investigations were carried out on pressure vessel steels of various strength and toughness up to the ... -
Creep Crack Growth Behavior in Power Plant Boiler and Steam Pipe Steels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)One of the important ingredients in remaining creep crack growth life assessment of elevated temperature power plant components is the material creep crack growth rate data. This report summarizes ... -
Effects of Plasticity on Dynamic Response of Piping Structures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)The analysis of elastoplastic structures under a combination of static and dynamic loads is examined. It is shown that under the hypothesis of a ductile behavior, progressive distortion is the ... -
Commentary on Class 2/3 Piping Rules
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)Much of the piping in a nuclear plant is designed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Class 2 or 3 requirements. The Code rules are given in NC/ND-3600 of Section ... -

Effect of Imperfect Contact Between Adjacent Layers on the Integrity of Wrapped Vessels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)Multilayer vessels are the designer’s solution to the inefficiency involved in operating monoblock vessels at pressures above 50 MPa. Multilayer wrapped vessels are commonly employed in high-pressure ... -
Experimental Tests for Suppression Effects of Water Restraint Plates on Sloshing of a Water Pool
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)Forced vibration tests for a spent fuel storage pool of nuclear facilities [1] were conducted for the purpose of determining sloshing suppression effects. The devices reported in this paper are ... -
Modes of Failure—Primary and Secondary Stresses
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1988)The paper begins with a reminder that the purpose of stress classification is to ensure suitable margins with respect to failure modes. The distinction between primary stresses and secondary ... -
