The plastic collapse induced by ratcheting, defined as the ratchet-induced collapse in this study, is one of the failure modes of piping components under seismic loading. This failure mode was first confirmed in the Pipe-fitting dynamic reliability program (PFDRP) conducted by EPRI in the 1980s. However, the mechanism and occurrence condition of this failure remained unclear for decades because there were no methods to express the continuous transition of failure modes under seismic loading, as ratcheting turned into a plastic collapse behavior in the experiment. In this study, the mechanism of the ratchet-induced collapse is clarified using numerical analyses and experimental tests. The X-Y trajectory representing the transition of the stress levels of deadweight and seismic loading is introduced to express the significant effect of ratcheting. The seismic failure mode map, which has a similar classification of stresses with Bree’s diagram, is also extended to represent the occurrence condition of plastic collapse. The prediction method of the ratchet-induced collapse is proposed by combining the X-Y trajectory and the extended seismic failure mode map.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80440507","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 practically applied calculation procedures of different international codes and standards are widely affected by the basic principles formulated in the criteria document [1]. Those criteria are still fundamental for the fatigue assessment of pressure vessel and power plant components and there is good reason to target at improvements in the consideration of the major factors of influence on the fatigue lifetime while keeping the well-proven methodological framework. This paves the way to related future design code amendment proposals. In practice, there are often large discrepancies between calculated fatigue life and practical experience from power plant operation, where the operating experience reveals much higher fatigue lifetimes as their predictions based on laboratory tests and conservative consideration of major influencing factors (plastification by Ke-factors, Environmentally Assisted Fatigue (EAF) by FEN-factors) in the calculation approach. In the framework of a cooperative research program (see e.g. [2], [3] and [4]) including various subprojects Framatome GmbH, Erlangen, and the Materials Testing Institute MPA Stuttgart have been developing improvements to the fatigue lifetime assessment methods in the framework of the well established engineering approach [1]. These improvements are consolidated by the results of experiments on specimens of ferritic and austenitic stainless steels and austenitic stainless steel welds as well as component tests are performed under laboratory and operating conditions to improve fatigue assessment.

Nevertheless, due to the heterogeneous mechanical and metallurgical properties, repair welds are susceptible to re-cracking during subsequent operations. The API 1996 report has shown that 88% of outer-diameter (OD) repair welds have experienced re-cracking in coke drums. The re-cracking susceptibility downgrades the efficiency of welding repair to extend coke drum operation life and may increase the complexity of coke drum maintenance. Hence, addressing the low-cycle fatigue failure of weld becomes a critical issue to optimize welding repair for coke drum maintenance. Alloy 625 is a commonly used Ni-based filler metal to perform coke drum repairs due to its good thermal and metallurgical compatibility with the base metal. However, weld metal dilution close to the weld interface changes local microstructure and mechanical properties from the rest part of the weld. In this study, an external repair welds of 1.25Cr-0.5Mo steel under as-received (Normalized and Tempered) and service-aged conditions with Alloy 625 using HP-GTAW process are evaluated based on low-cycle fatigue tests and failure analysis. Weld transition samples are extracted to encompass the transition from weld metal to base metal at the gage section. Low-cycle fatigue tests are performed at 0.7%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% strain amplitudes. Interfacial cracks are observed at lower strain amplitudes (0.7% and 1.0%) and failures at higher strain amplitudes tend to occur at the base metal region. Metallurgical characterizations are performed to characterize the microstructure at weld interface and measure the mechanical properties through micro hardness. Interfacial cracks are examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy. This study helps clarify how microstructure and mechanical properties contribute to the interfacial cracking of the Ni-base alloy and steel dissimilar joint.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89209546","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}

When there is a requirement to open for inspection and maintenance, the breech-lock or screw-plug design offers a cost-effective alternative to TEMA channel closure types because it eliminates the large cover flange and bolting (often associated to welded diaphragms), allows for sealing adjustments without being dismantled and provides quicker opening and closing operations. For services designed to operate with a pressure differential between circuits that cannot be isolated (High-High type) an internal assembly must be designed such that the sealing of the tubesheet gasket is maintained under all possible operating conditions. The assembly must transfer the loads from the bolts to the tubesheet gasket but also remain elastic over a range of operating conditions.\u0000 The past work on this assembly type is reviewed and root causes of exchanger leaks reported in the literature are discussed. A finite element analysis study showed that typical designs for the internal load-carrying components undergo plastic deformation due to thermal expansion under certain operating conditions, leading to a loss of gasket seal. While sealing may be temporarily restored by acting on external bolts, for example by hot torquing, subsequent thermal cycles can result in further deformation such that the assembly may require unplanned maintenance or repair.\u0000 The results of the study were used to guide development of a new closure concept using a conical disc spring to ensure adequate gasket stress for sealing of the tubesheet while maintaining elastic behavior of components under load for all anticipated operating conditions, including upsets. Finite element models were used to compare the new approach to the existing practice and to design a demonstration unit, which has since been fabricated. The conical disk spring for the demonstration unit was tested, confirming the elastic behavior over the anticipated load range and enabling calibration of strain gauges. The complete prototype was tested with mechanical and thermal loads to validate analysis results and confirm ease of assembly and disassembly. The new closure design can reduce plant shutdown time by eliminating leaks and damage during operation of screw-plug exchangers.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80650383","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}

Transverse Band Gap structures (BGs) for perfect period and frequency response function (FRF) for finite periods are investigated and fit well with each other. By introducing a certain degree of uncertainty level, interval method is used to convert uncertain parameter problem into two deterministic models. FRF for near-periodic structure with single disorder and BGs for quasi-periodic structure with multiple disorders are investigated concerning support stiffness and periodic length. The existence of disorders in periodic structure would always reduce the attenuation intensity and interval, and some disturbance would even generate new intermediate attenuation zones. Elastic wave propagation with periodic support is much more sensitive to periodic length rather than support stiffness, as the sensitivity is closely related with attenuation mechanism. Therefore, such defects should be carefully avoided in design and manufacturing this kind of periodic pipeline structures. The work in this paper enriches the stability analysis of the pipeline structure with periodic support, and provides reference for the research of noise and vibration reduction of pipeline system in practical engineering.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81301381","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, unlike the other high-frequency shell-mode vibration phenomenon (the acoustic-induced-vibration) which propagates in the piping system, the risks of choked flow are found to be only in the immediate vicinity of the choking point and decays exponentially with distance.

These shock physics experiments are imaged using proton radiography at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). The pressure vessel system examined is separated into two subsystems, the Outer Pressure Containment Vessel (OPCV) and the Beam Pipe and Auxiliary Hardware (BPAH). The OPCV mates with the BPAH to transport the proton beam and form the outer containment pressure boundary. An Inner Pressure Confinement Vessel (IPCV) is mounted inside the containment pressure boundary. The IPCV can be used to host a variety of physics experiments, which can include high explosive and hazardous materials. The IPCV is an impulsively loaded pressure vessel, while the OPCV and beam pipes are statically loaded. The OPCV and BPAH are designed to satisfy ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 2 Alternative Rules, Part 5 Design by Analysis Requirements for all load conditions expected during service. The BPAH is a series of stainless-steel tubes with low-profile flange assemblies, bellows, and aluminum windows to allow for proton imaging. The low-profile flanges are required for clearance of magnet bores located periodically along the length of the BPAH. The bellows are included along the beamline for ease of installation. The OPCV is a pressure vessel designed to interface with the BPAH, IPCV, and proton imaging alignment system. The OPCV and BPAH are both designed to support full vacuum loads. Major considerations for the BPAH are thermal elongation, collapse of bellows, and stresses due to clamp supports. Lifting loads and static equivalent loads transmitted from the IPCV are additional considerations for the OPCV.
