Uni-axial fatigue tests were conducted by stress and strain-controlled conditions at room temperature. The fatigue life was reduced by applying the mean stress for the same stress amplitude. The fatigue life exhibited better correlation with the strain range rather than the stress amplitude. Increase in strain range caused by applying the mean stress correlated well with the decrease in the fatigue life. It was assumed that the mean stress effect on the fatigue life was brought about by the change in crack growth rate caused by applying the mean stress. The mean stress enhanced crack mouth opening and accelerated the crack growth. The non-closure model, in which the crack mouth is assumed not to be closed even at the minimum peak stress, was proposed.","PeriodicalId":150804,"journal":{"name":"Volume 3: Design and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114859492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ASME BPVC Section I, Section VIII Division 1 and Section VIII Division 2 (Pre-2007 Edition) reinforcement rules for external pressure are less stringent than those for internal pressure. The reinforcement rules for external pressure published since the 2007 Edition of ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 2 are more stringent than those for internal pressure. The previous rule only required reinforcement for external pressure to be one-half of the reinforcement required for internal pressure. In the current BPVC Code the required reinforcement is inversely proportional to the allowable compressive stress for the shell under external pressure. Therefore as the allowable drops, the required reinforcement increases. Understandably, the rules for external pressure differ in these two Divisions, but the amount of required reinforcement can be significantly larger.\u0000 This paper will examine the possible conservatism in the current Division 2 rules as compared to the other Divisions of the BPVC Code and the EN 13445-3.

This reduction of ductility probably arises from an effect called “ratcheting of the porosity” that consists of a continued increase of the mean porosity during each cycle with the number of cycles. Improved micromechanical simulations confirmed this interpretation. The same work also contained a proof that Gurson’s classical model for porous ductile materials does not predict any ratcheting of the porosity. In a recent work [6], the authors proposed a Gurson-type “layer model” better fit than Gurson’s original one for the description of the ductile behavior under cyclic loading conditions, using the theory of sequential limit analysis. A very good agreement was obtained between the model predictions and the results of the micromechanical simulations for a rigid-hardenable material. However, the ratcheting of the porosity is a consequence of both hardening and elasticity, and sequential limit analysis is strictly applicable in the absence of elasticity. In this work, we make a proposal to take into account elasticity in the layer model through the definition of a new objective stress rate leading to an accurate expression of the porosity rate accounting for both elasticity and plasticity. This proposal is assessed through comparison of its predictions with the results of some new micromechanical simulations performed for matrices exhibiting both elasticity and all types of hardening: isotropic, kinematic and mixed, to better comply with the hypothesis made to derive the model.","PeriodicalId":150804,"journal":{"name":"Volume 3: Design and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130900047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of these rules is to minimize the chance for the ultimate supplier’s detailed acoustic & mechanical response analysis to recommend significant changes to the design in a late stage of a project. Specific emphasis is placed on how the support stiffness affects the natural frequency of the piping system and a practical methodology is provided to account for this in pipe support span calculations. This paper also describes the process information that needs to be submitted to the supplier to conduct a meaningful acoustic as well as mechanical response analysis.

For scenarios where it can be shown that the crack tip is blunt, such as for corrosion pits, this may lead to overly pessimistic assessments which can have implications for remnant life assessments of structures.\u0000 Recent research has been carried out to evaluate structures with the crack tip as a blunt notch with a radius, and to develop a notch acuity parameter. That research led to formulae for adapting either the failure assessment curve or the failure assessment points utilising the notch acuity parameter for ferritic materials.\u0000 This paper analyses various configurations of crack and specimen geometry, crack tip notch acuity parameter and crack spacing. It takes a finite element model of a cracked structure with an infinitely sharp crack and compares the failure parameters to those of equivalent notched cracks.

The head is forged into an elliptical shape with a flat edge at its peripheral. The flat edge serves as a flange while the other mating half coming from the tank shell. The flange pair is installed within a C-shaped clamp and secured by compression bolts at its head side. A gasket is sandwiched between the mating surfaces of the flange pair to provide proper seal. While the head can be removed easily by unscrewing the compression bolts, this disintegrated structure does increase the complexity in component design and unique requirement for installation. The bolt compression load not only affects the pressure capacity of the storage tank, but also governs the stresses in flange pair and C-clamp. In this study, the flanged and dished head assembly has been modeled and analyzed by finite element method for stresses and gasket seal performance subject to installation and operation loads. Both elastic and elastic-plastic analysis has been performed. The tightening force of the bolts is examined against component stresses and gasket seal performance. Optimized bolt load is recommended based on acceptance criteria for stresses and leakage prevention.","PeriodicalId":150804,"journal":{"name":"Volume 3: Design and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122187070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, how to reasonably take into account the influence of geometric imperfections on the load carrying capacity of thin-walled cylindrical shells is always the bottleneck of light-weight design of these structures. In this paper, four perturbation load approach (4PLA) is adopted to consider the influence of geometric imperfections. By judging the potential buckling status of cylindrical shells, a new improved design method based on 4PLA for thin-walled cylindrical shells is proposed, in which the influence of radius-to-thickness ratio, length-to-radius ratio, Young’s modulus and material yield strength are systematically considered. Correspondingly, the buckling tests for two steel cylindrical shells with the same geometric and material parameters are conducted. Compared with the experimental results and other test results in open literatures, the superiority and safety of proposed method for the preliminary design of thin-walled cylindrical shells are validated.","PeriodicalId":150804,"journal":{"name":"Volume 3: Design and Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130152629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
