Numerical simulation of fatigue crack growth (FCG) is presented, based on the application of
the extended finite element method (XFEM). Couple of case studies are presented, as a …

The subject of this paper is the microstructural and mechanical characterisation of regions of
the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in steels containing 9–12% Cr that are used for operation at …

The problems of a material selection for making the boiler pipes in a responsible steam plant
and the technology for their welding are considered in this paper. The boiler is screened …

Sažetak In this paper the focus is on a historic context of a few milestones in the
development of structural integrity, which closely follow development of human civilization …

This paper presents evaluation fracture mechanics parameters in low pressure turbine
components. Critical locations such as keyway and dovetail area are experiencing stress …

Purpose The safety and reliability of high-speed trains rely on the structural integrity of their
components and the dynamic performance of the entire vehicle system. This paper aims to …

This paper examines leakage and damages of steam and provides an overview of NDT
testing in order to determine the cause of steam lines failure in power plants and heating …

In this contribution, historical aspects through millennia of structural integrity development
are presented, starting from the Great Pyramids in antient Egypt. Special attention is paid to …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the failure of the left waterwall tube of a
boiler furnace in the steam power plant which led to cracks and rupture. Macro visual …

The industrial application of high strength steel in structural welded components has
increased the demand for understanding the ductile failure behavior of this type of welded …
