Crack defects in mitred bends seriously affect the structural safety of steel pipelines.
Therefore, particular attention should be paid to fracture failure of mitred bends due to stress …

Ratcheting effect refers to the cyclic accumulation of plastic strain under alternating load, is
one of the reasons leading to the failure of mechanical structures. The concept of structural …

This study determines the plastic, shakedown and elastic limit loads and the corresponding
regimes of 90° pressurized pipe bends with shape imperfections subjected to cyclic in-plane …

The present work quantifies the effect of ovality and wall thinning on plastic, shakedown and
elastic limit load of pipe bends under cyclic in-plane closing bending load and internal …

This research studies the effect of wall thinning on generated shakedown (SD) interaction
diagrams of pressurized low-carbon steel 90-degree (90-Deg) back-to-back (B2B) bends …

Studies on the use of cold-formed steel (CFS) C-section, which is a civil engineering
material, in building and civil engineering work are still on-going. The advantages of the …

The present research focuses on generating interaction diagrams (ie limit moment
boundaries vs steady internal pressure spectra) of pressurized 90 o miter and smooth …

A methodology that targets determining the shakedown (SD) limit loads via computing the
plastic work dissipation (PWD) is presented. The methodology is termed: Shakedown Limit …

The current research utilizes a direct non-cyclic technique to generate elastic shakedown
domains for thinned-wall 90° elbows. The elbows are subjected to simultaneous steady …

In this paper, the stress compensation method (SCM) adopting an elastic-perfectly plastic
(EPP) material is further extended to account for limited kinematic hardening (KH) material …
