Computer system of defect assessments as applied to primary circuit piping is developed as the tool of expert ISI strength supporting. Results of defect assessments are governed by adequate data on stress distributions and defect geometry. 

The AUGUR information on defect configuration is used to develop the three-dimensional solid model of damaged pipeline weldment by the use of geometry editor. The editor options provide by easy way creation and changing of the solid model. This model is used for fracture analysis by finite element method with appropriate cross-section stress distribution and external loads. 

The computational process of analysis is hidden from the user, and visually the analysis is conducted in terms of M-02-91 or R6 [6] assessment procedure On the basis of data of stress state and defect configuration the necessary assessment parameters (limit load, stress intensity factor variation along the crack-like defect edge) are determined. Special attention is devoted to realization of sensitivity analysis. Effect of variations in calculated stress distribution and defect configuration are estimated by built-in way. 

The tests have been able to display the stresses distribution on the vessel surface (shell and heads) as well as characterize the most relevant zones for structural controls (weldings and so on). 

The same approach was followed at our laboratory to assess the possibility to display the stress distribution as well as to characterize the most relevant zones for structural controls on pressure vessels. 

Very shortly, the first one is based on the stress measurement performed using a rosetta strain gauge located in an area of sufficiently uniform stress distribution. In this case, the calibration factor Cr can be easily obtained by the following equation ... 

A FEM analysis was carried out and the predicted distribution of stresses on the pressure vessel compared with the stress distribution calibration using the SPATE technique.

In Figure 5.24 the predicted direct stress distributions for a glass-filled epoxy resin under unconstrained conditions for both pha.ses are shown. The material parameters used in this calculation are elasticity modulus and Poisson s ratio of (3.01 GPa, 0.35) for the epoxy matrix and (76.0 GPa, 0.21) for glass spheres, respectively. According to this result the position of maximum stress concentration is almost directly above the pole of the spherical particle. Therefore for a...

In tougher materials the minimum thickness required by equation 15 can become excessive. In such cases the /-integral test is an attractive alternative. Because this test considers the stress distribution around the crack inside the plastic 2one, it can be used to obtain a vahd toughness measurement in a thinner specimen, because more extensive plastic yielding does not invaUdate the analysis. The equivalent of equation 15 for the /-integral test is... 

The resulting shear stress distribution while the intemalpressure is acting shows the extent of yielding at radius r. 

Assume pressure, needed to take the elastic—plastic boundary to radius r corresponds to point B (see Fig. 3). Then provided the cylinder unloads elasticady when the internal pressure is removed, ie, unloading path BE is paradel to OA, the residual shear stress distribution is as fodows. 

The residual shear stress distribution in the assembled cylinders, prior to the appHcation of internal pressure, may be calculated, from pressure P, generated across the interface. The resulting shear stress distribution in the compound cylinder, when subjected to an internal pressure may be calculated from the sum of the residual stress distribution and that which would have been generated elastically in a simple cylinder of the same overall radius ratio as that of the compound cylinder. 

Cylindrical tmnnions are of more favorable contour for stress distribution and frequently are used in high temperature services. Their load-carrying capacity is high and their stmctural effect on the pipe shell can easily be deterrnined. 

The apex (often referred to as bead filler) compound must be formulated for excellent dynamic stiffness to facilitate stress distribution and provide good car handling properties. The bead insulation compound must possess good adhesion to this most important component for enclosing the pHes of the tire and holding the tine to the rim. The chafer/rim strip compound protects the pHes from rim abrasion and seals the tire to the rim. 

A conservative assumption is that O can be set equal to zero. When the stress O equals the characteristic strength O the faUure probabUity is 63.2%. Under conditions other than tensUe loading, the stress distribution in a body is inhomogeneous. To account for this, a loading factor k is used to calculate the effective volume under stress and kVreplaces V. 

Maximum Reactions for Complex Systems For miiltianchor systems and for two-anchor systems with intermediate restraints, Eqs. (10-105) and (10-106) are not apphcable. Each case must be studied to estimate the location, nature, and extent of local overstrain and its effect on stress distribution and reactions.

Example - determining the stress distribution using the coefficient of variation... 

When dimensional variation is large, its effeets must be ineluded in the analysis of the stress distribution for a given situation. However, in some eases the effeets of dimensional variation on stress are negligible. A simplified approaeh to determine the likely stress distribution then beeomes available. Given that the mean load applied to the eomponent/assembly is known for a partieular situation, the loading stress ean be estimated by using the eoeffieient of variation, C, of the load and the mean value for the stress determined from the stress equation for the failure mode of eoneern.

In experimental load studies, the measurable variables are often surface strain, acceleration, weight, pressure or temperature (Haugen, 1980). A discussion of the techniques on how to measure the different types of load parameters can be found in Figliola and Beasley (1995). The measurement of stress directly would be advantageous, you would assume, for use in subsequent calculations to predict reliability. However, no translation of the dimensional variability of the part could then be accounted for in the probabilistic model to give the stress distribution. A better test would be to output the load directly as shown and then use the appropriate probabilistic model to determine the stress distribution. 

Gn L) is often difficult to determine for a given load distribution, but when is large, an approximation is given by the Maximum Extreme Value Type I distribution of the maximum extremes with a scale parameter, 0, and location parameter, v. When the initial loading stress distribution,/(L), is modelled by a Normal, Lognormal, 2-par-ameter Weibull or 3-parameter Weibull distribution, the extremal model parameters can be determined by the equations in Table 4.11. These equations include terms for the number of load applications, n. The extremal model for the loading stress can then be used in the SSI analysis to determine the reliability.

Next using Bury s approaeh, from Table 4.11 the extremal parameters, v and 0, from an initial Normal loading stress distribution are determined from ...
