Elbow pipe components are frequently subjected to complicated thermo-mechanical load
combinations cyclically in nuclear engineering, facing failures related to cyclic plastic …

In the design criterion for the nuclear power plant piping system, the limit state of the piping
against an earthquake is assumed to be plastic collapse. The failure of a common piping …

Most of real-world structural components that undergo cyclic loading feature multiaxial
fatigue. When the cyclic loading involves also significant plastic deformation, multiaxial low …

Burst capacity assessment at a corrosion defect of pipe elbows subjected to internal
pressure is essential for oil/gas pipeline integrity management. In this study, a three …

The accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) resulting from the 2011
Great East Japan Earthquake raised awareness as to the importance of considering Beyond …

Maintaining the structural integrity of the major devices of a nuclear power plant is perceived
as a particularly important issue in relation to the stability of the structure, and the structural …

A steel pipe elbow is an important component in the piping system of a nuclear power plant.
Accordingly, its structural performance requires a piping system with high-structural integrity …

A seismic isolation system installed in a nuclear power plant will respond to the load caused
by an earthquake. As a result, a larger displacement may occur in the presence of the …

Among the many facilities constituting nuclear power plants, piping is a significant facility
that handles the transport of fluids, such as steam and cooling water. These pipes can be …

Steel elbow components are considered to be critical parts in industrial piping system due to
their probability of collapse or failure. Therefore, the structural behavior of elbows is …
