Effect of cyclic loading on elastic–plastic fracture resistance of PHT system piping material of PHWR
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the paper is to study the effect of cyclic loading on the fracture resistance of the SA 333 Gr.6 carbon steel material of the primary heat transport (PHT) system piping of Indian pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWR). Tests have been carried out on compact tension specimens machined from the pipe used in the PHT system. The effect of load ratio, incremental plastic displacement and loading displacement rate on fracture resistance properties of the material has been studied. The cyclic fracture resistance curve has been compared with the monotonic fracture resistance curve and has been found to vary significantly. A negative load ratio with very low incremental plastic displacement between two consecutive loading cycles, significantly affects the fracture resistance of the material. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملOn the effect of grain size on rock behavior under cyclic loading by distinct element method
It is well-known that the mechanical behavior of rocks under cyclic loading is much different from static loading conditions. In most constructions, the load applied to structures is within dynamic ranges. That’s why a great deal of attention has been paid towards this field in order to identify the dynamic behavior of rocks in more details. Nevertheless, the nature of dynamic failure in rocks ...

متن کاملUltra-Low Cycle Fatigue Fracture Life of a Type of Buckling Restrained Brace
Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) for seismic load resistance have been widely used in recent years. One of the key requirements for a buckling restrained brace is to sustain large plastic deformations under severe ground motions. The core of a buckling restrained brace is prone to fatigue fracture under cyclic loading. The earthquake induced fracture type of the core plate in a bucklin...
