Validation of BS 7910 fracture assessment procedures; wide plates and cylinders

BS 7910 provides guidance on the fitness for service of a flawed component. It covers wide variety metals in broad applications, thus integrity many components various safety critical industries depends it. Its detailed and rigorous validation, therefore, is utmost importance. In this study, validation fracture assessment procedures carried out through use historical large test data, where failure conditions are known detail. Hundreds results from large-scale plate cylinder tests collected literature assessed with 7910. The outline analysis analysed given study concise manner. exercise validates clauses associated annexes that concern plate, pipe curved shell geometries, together other equations included procedure used during analyses.
