Using the RF module of COMSOL, we compute the magnetic flux density norm (BN) profiles
for frequencies in the 76 to 100 MHz range, inside of a prototype birdcage coil, courtesy of …

When a small crack is detected in a pressure vessel or pi**, we can estimate the fatigue
life of the vessel or pi** by applying the classical law of fracture mechanics for crack …

One of the major factors that may impact long-term operations is structural material
degradation. Detecting materials degradation, estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) of …

In a 2007 paper entitled “Application of Failure Event Data to Benchmark Probabilistic
Fracture Mechanics (PFM) Computer Codes”(Simonen, FA, Gosselin, SR, Lydell, BOY …

A multi-scale fatigue life prediction methodology of composite pressure vessels subjected to
multi-axial loading has been proposed in this paper. The multi-scale approach starts from …

Over the last thirty years, much research has been done on the development and application
of in-service inspection (ISI) and failure event databases for pressure vessels and pi**, as …

Over the last thirty years, much research has been done on the development and application

Abstract The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code (BPVC) Committee has recently developed a new Section XI (Nuclear Components …

In composite structural design, a fundamental requirement is to furnish the designer with a
set of elastic constants. For example, to design for a given temperature a laminate consisting …
