Fracture toughness data for type 304 and 316 stainless steels and their welds are reviewed.
The material and operational parameters evaluated in this paper include: heat to heat …

With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly
authoritative reference and text, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications quickly …

Economical design with sufficient fracture resistance is of utmost importance in any offshore
pipeline project. High internal pressure combined with bending/tension, accompanied by …

Demand for long-distance offshore pipelines is steadily increasing. High internal pressure
combined with bending/tension, accompanied by large plastic strains, along with the …

Nonlinear finite element analyses of semi-elliptical surface cracks are performed with the
fully plastic condition, where the power-law hardening materials and the deformation theory …

The paper deals with calculations of the J-integral for a plate weakened by U-and V-blunt
notches under mode I loading in the case of a linear and nonlinear elastic material. The …

Reference stress approximations for the J integral and crack tip opening displacement
(COD) for circumferential through-wall cracked pipes under tension and under bending are …

This paper provides engineering estimates of non-linear fracture mechanics parameters for
pipes with part circumferential inner surface cracks, subject to internal pressure and global …

A comparative study is performed in this paper on the crack-tip opening displacement
(CTOD) resistance curve test methods developed for single edge-notched tension (SENT) …

This paper provides two types of engineering J estimation equations for cylinders with finite
internal axial surface cracks under internal pressure. The first type is the so-called GE/EPRI …
