(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)Predictions as to 105 h creep rupture strength of grade 91 steel have been made recently. The predicted values are examined with long-term creep rupture data of the steel. Three creep rupture databases were used in the ... -
A Study on the Behavior of Single- and Twin-Gasketed Flange Joint Under External Bending Load
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)Gasketed flange joints are widely used in pressure vessels and piping systems. They are subjected to bending load due to differential thermal expansion, wind load, self-weight, etc., in addition to assembly and internal ... -
CFRP Reinforcement and Repair of Steel Pipe Elbows Subjected to Severe Cyclic Loading
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)In order to ensure safe operation and structural integrity of pipelines and piping systems subjected to extreme loading conditions, it is often necessary to strengthen critical pipe components. One method to strengthen ... -
Microporous Coatings and Enhanced Critical Heat Flux for Downward Facing Boiling During Passive Emergency Reactor Cooling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)During a reaction-initiated accident (RIA) or loss of coolant accident (LOCA), passive external-cooling of the reactor lower head is a viable approach for the in-vessel retention (IVR) of Corium; while this concept can ... -
The Revised Universal Slope Method to Predict the Low-Cycle Fatigue Lives of Elbow and Tee Pipes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)The stress states of elbow and tee pipes are complex and different from those of straight pipes. The low-cycle fatigue lives of elbows and tees cannot be predicted by Manson's universal slope method; however, a revised ... -
Assessment of Fracture Toughness Using Small Punch Tests of Prenotched Specimens
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)In this paper, line- and ring-notched small punch test (SPT) specimens were studied; a three-dimensional (3D) model of a ring-notched SPT specimen was established using the contour integral method, and the validity of the ... -
Experimental Investigation on Vortex Shedding and Fluid Elastic Instability in Finned Tube Arrays Subjected to Water Cross Flow
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)The paper presents results of an experimental study on fluid elastic instability and vortex shedding in plain and finned arrays exposed to water cross flow. The parallel triangular array with cantilever end condition is ... -
The Effects of the Material's Exact Yield Point and Its Plastic Properties on the Safe Maximum Pressure of Gun Barrels
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2017)The design of a gun barrel aims at maximizing its firing power, determined by its safe maximum pressure (SMP)—the maximal allowed firing pressure—which is considerably enhanced by inducing a favorable residual stress field ... -
Reliability Assessment of Failure Assessment Diagram Based Fitness for Service Procedure Including the Effect of Bias in Modeling
