... in tension) are analyzed in detail. By changing the hole geometry form and the hole geometry parameters and by comparing the SIFs of the hole crack problem with those of the center crack problem, the effect of the hole geometry form and the hole geometry parameters on the SIFs is revealed. It is found...

... process and load decrease in structure having stress concentration. Test specimens made of SUS304 stainless steel are tested at 550 ° C and the geometry of the semicircular notched plate specimens are changed by diameter size of the circular notch in both of single-notched specimens and double-notched...

..., and the postbuckling path for a shell becomes lower as the shell geometry parameter Z ¯ is increased. Anisotropic effect on the postbuckling behavior of cylindrical shells under hydrostatic pressure: ( a ) load-shortening and ( b ) load-deflection Figure 3 presents the postbuckling load...

... analysis (FEA) design tool was developed using axisymmetric material nonlinear conditions to predict the buckling of the cylinder bottom end closures. The FEA model was also used to evaluate the influence of variations in end-closure geometry, material thickness, and strength on buckling. In addition...

... bending. The proposed method is validated against FE results for various geometries of local wall thinning under combined loading. The effect of internal pressure is also investigated in the present study. Comparison of maximum moments, predicted according to the proposed method, with published full-scale...

... by the multiplexed circumferential transducer array. The output of the algorithm can be utilized for evaluating the circumferential distributions and geometry of the defects. The processing algorithm is verified via both numerical simulations and experiments in the paper. This circumferential sizing algorithm can...

... increases. The plate specimens are not designed with respect to failure. It is concluded that for geometries that exhibit a strain range gradient away from the surface, the number of cycles allowed by the current rules includes the initiation phase but not the propagation phase of a fatigue crack...

... detailed elastic-plastic three-dimensional FE analysis. Remarkably the resulting estimation equations are found to be insensitive not only to pipe and defect geometries but also to material. Comparison of failure loads, predicted according to the proposed method, with published test data for corroded pipes...

... different driving air pressures. The pipe segment terminates in an open ended elbow; the pressure time histories are recorded at this elbow. The recorded peak pressures are correlated to the tank pressures and pipe and slug geometry. Dimensionless parameters are developed to present the experimental data...

... 37 of the closed end plain cross-bored cylinder. This was due to inaccessibility of commercial software. The quarter cylinder geometry for the structure is shown in Fig. 1 . The displacement formulation was adopted while the eight noded isoparametric element, Fig. 2 , having eight Gauss points...

...M. J. Pettigrew, Mem. ASME; C. E. Taylor; B. S. Kim Many shell-and-tube heat exchangers operate in two-phase flows. This paper presents the results of a series of experiments done on tube bundles of different geometries subjected to two-phase cross flow simulated by air-water mixtures. Normal (30...
