This is the ®rst in a series of two papers generated from a study on net-section-collapse (NSC) analysis of circumferentially cracked pipes. In this paper (part I), a generalized NSC method is presented to predict the maximum moment of a circumferentially cracked pipe with a variable-depth internal surface crack subject to combined bending and tension (pressure-induced) loads. Two sets of equat...

structural health monitoring of cracked structures is one of beloved subject of researchers recently. consider of crack behavior in the water and energy pipeline is important because of environmental problems. in this paper consider of crack parameters in the underwater pipe subjected to mechanical transient load is investigated. for this purpose, three- dimensional parametric model of cracked ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate bending moment and the axial load capacity of a pressurized pipe suffering from a through-wall circumferential crack repaired by a composite sleeve. The three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) was adopted to compute the results, and the failure assessment diagram (FAD) was employed to investigate the failure behavior of the repaired pipe. The fi...

Based on the reference stress approach, two sets of the crack opening displacement (COD) estimation equations are proposed for a complex cracked pipe. One set of equations can be used for the case when full stressstrain data are known, and the other for the case when only yield and tensile strengths are available. To define the reference stress, a simple plastic limit analysis for the complex c...

In view of the local cracking and leakage water-wall pipe Subcritical Boiler in a thermal power plant, mechanism water wall was studied by means macroscopic analysis, chemical composition metallographic structure, Brinell hardness test, tensile test at room temperature scanning electron microscopy. The results show that there is no misuse materials or unqualified cracked leaked pipe. There are ...
