In this paper, a robust design method for UOE forming process based on support vector machine and sequential response surface modeling and considering the variation of steel plates' properties is proposed. A hundred of mechanical experiments are firstly carried out and the variation of X80 steel's properties is statistically evaluated. The varied properties are assigned to partitioned steel segments and taken as the noise factor in process design. The ovality of the UOE pipe is employed as the optimization objective, and the forming quality indicators including convex amount, mean outside diameter, yield strengths and Ys/Uts, O-forming gap, the width of the U-shaped plate, inclined angle of straight arm of the U-shaped plate, etc., are taken as the constraints. Based on the semi-analytical computation of C-, U- and O-forming processes and finite element simulation of expanding process, a sequential response surface model is established by using the support vector machine method. Finally, a Monte Carlo sampling is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared to conventional optimization method, the robust optimization performs obviously better in reducing the ovality and increasing the robustness of UOE forming process.","PeriodicalId":50080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44533015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our proposed regularization method uses prior information and Expectation a Posteriori (EAP) estimation. Prior information includes candidate crack shapes and surface deformations due to cracks. The candidate crack shapes are created by determining a crack's starting point and propagating it based on the force at its perimeter (ligament). A prior distribution is the surface deformations due to the candidate crack shapes. The likelihood distribution is a surface deformation measured by the DIC method. A posterior distribution is defined from the prior and likelihood distributions. In this study, the estimated result is the expected value of the posterior distribution.

With the resurgence of nuclear energy due to electricity and carbon-free power generation demand, ensuring safe operations at nuclear power plants is important. Nuclear safety systems can undergo vibrations due to operating loads such as pump operations, flow-induced, etc. Safety equipment-piping systems experience degradation over the course of time due to flow-accelerated erosion and corrosion. Undetected degradation at certain locations can be subjected to a buildup of cyclic fatigue due to operational vibrations and thermal cycles. A condition monitoring framework is required to avoid fatigue cracking and for early detection of degraded locations along with severity of degradation. This study aims to propose a condition monitoring methodology for nuclear equipment-piping subject to pump-induced vibrations during normal operations by designing a novel feature extraction technique, exploring parameters and developing a deep neural network, incorporating uncertainty in degradation severity, conducting a thorough investigation of predicted results to analyze erroneous predictions, and proposing strategic recommendations for “safe” pump operating speeds, as per ASME design criteria. Even with nondestructive testing, detection of fatigue in pipes continues to be a difficult problem. Thus, this novel strategic recommendation to the operator can be beneficial in avoiding fatigue in piping systems due to pump-induced vibrations. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated on a Z-piping system connected to an auxiliary pump from Experimental Breeder Reactor II nuclear reactor and a high prediction accuracy is achieved.","PeriodicalId":50080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48275147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, the cracking behavior and strain evolution law of the inner wall defects of the pipe girth weld is studied in combination with full-scale tests (FST). The constitutive and GTN damage parameters of the pipe base metal zone, weld zone and heat-affected zone (HAZ) are calibrated through the small punch test (SPT) and single edge notch bending (SENB) test. On this basis, the welded pipe model with inner wall defects is established, and a numerical simulation method for dynamic fracture behavior based on damage mechanics is formed. The numerical simulation method is verified by FST data and theoretical calculation. The results show that the numerical results are consistent with the FST and theoretical calculation in the elastic stage, plastic stage and fracture stage, and the error is within 10%.

These stresses are completely different from those of straight tubular structures. Through the finite element method and using the ABAQUS computer code, the damage of a tubular structure in X60 of an elbow attached by straight parts stressed in internal pressure and in the moment of bending in closing is analyzed in this work. As a proposal for reinforcement, this structure is previously heat-treated and partially at the level of the elbow. The formulation of the heat-treated X60 material is based on the concept of FGM materials (functional graded materials) where the graduation by volume fraction between the metal in its base and that previously heat-affected named HAZ is under a power function of a parameter named volume fraction index (n). The graded properties of HAZ in the base metal along the thickness of the tubular structure are introduced by row of finite elements using a proposed meshing technique. The elastic-plastic behavior of the HAZ-base metal mixture under the Voce model follows the equivalent stress flow theory of Von Mises. Through the use of the XFEM technique in the damage and the mesh proposed in the graduation, in the presence of the internal pressure, of the heat treatment by the graduation and these parameters, condition the response of the structure and the level of their damage.","PeriodicalId":50080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43667073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maximum flow rate is important for sizing of downstream components. The high pressure of the blow and flashing of the liquid can result in significant forces on pipe bends and other geometrical features. Analysis and prediction of such forces are of importance for the structural design and anchoring of the piping. Another concern for a liquid blow under high pressure is the potential for condensation-induced hydraulic shock. The collapse of the flashed vapor to the liquid phase creating shock waves of large amplitudes is a serious safety concern. The CFD model used the homogeneous mixture model with a flashing model for phase change of the fluid. The properties of the fluid were defined by a custom function which interpolated between tabulated values of the thermodynamic and transport properties. The CFD simulations predicted the occurrence of a condensation hydraulic shock when the blow down is initiated with empty pipes and demonstrated that a hydraulic shock could be prevented with liquid-filled condition. The pipework geometry was also optimized to reduce the forces acting at the junctions. The vapor quality at the outlet as a result of flashing was estimated which is necessary for the design of downstream systems.","PeriodicalId":50080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45230026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate burst pressure is critical to structural design and safe operation for both thin and thick-walled PVs. The traditional strength theories utilized a single-parameter material property, such as the yield strength (YS) or the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) to develop failure models for determining the yield or ultimate pressure carrying capacity in the PV design. The UTS-based Barlow formula is a typical burst pressure model developed from the Tresca strength theory that provides the basis for developing regulation rules and failure models for different industry design codes, such as ASME BPVC, ASME B31.3, and ASME B31G, among others. In order to reduce the conservatism of the Tresca strength model, ASME BPVC recently adapted failure models developed from the von Mises strength theory for the PV design and analysis. It has been commonly accepted that the burst pressure of pipelines depends on the UTS and strain hardening exponent, n, of the pipeline steels. An average shear stress yield theory was thus developed, and the Zhu-Leis solution of burst pressure was obtained as a function of UTS and n for thin-walled line pipes. Experiments showed that the Zhu-Leis solution provides an accurate, reliable prediction of burst pressure for defect-free thin-walled pipes. In order to extend the Zhu-Leis solution to thick-walled cylindrical PVs, this paper defined three new flow stresses, modified the traditional strength theories, and obtained three new burst pressure solutions that are valid for both thin and thick-walled cylindrical vessels. The proposed flow stresses are able to describe the tensile strength and the plastic flow response of PVs for a strain hardening steel. The associated strength theories were then developed in terms of the Tresca, von Mises and Zhu-Leis yield criteria. From these new strength theories, three burst pressure solutions were obtained for thick-walled cylinders, where the von Mises solution is an upper bound prediction, the Tresca solution is a lower bound prediction, and the Zhu-Leis solution is an intermediate prediction of burst pressure for thick-walled cylinders. Finally, the proposed burst pressure solutions were evaluated and validated by two large datasets of full-scale burst tests for thick-walled tubes and for thin-walled pipes.","PeriodicalId":50080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45284178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is known to have caused structural flaws for certain FRP flange classes and sizes. Using a recently developed anisotropic FRP flange approach, it is proposed to identify the most critical flanges by analyzing the flange parameters such as flange ring rotation and stresses in their different parts; gasket, flange ring, hub, and shell subjected to pressure loading. The study on the strength of flanges described in ASME section X RD-620.1 table, will reveal the most critical size and class flanges and their highly stressed locations. To conduct such a study, the selected flange material is an E glass/Vinyl Ester laminate composite.
