VALIDATION OF SIMPLIFIED FRACTURE MECHANICS METHODS BY TESTING OF REAL COMPONENTS

摘要

To validate simplified calculation methods for circumferential crack (Flow Stress Concept = FSC; Plastic Limit Load = PLL) and for axial cracks (Battelle Approach = BMI; Ruiz-approach = RUIZ) all available experiments on real structural components, especially on pipes, were analysed and evaluated by these methods (460 experiments).
