Abstract:The paper presents the results of finite element analysis of a pressurized vessel typically made of steel 1025 and containing the weld misalignment at the cylinder-to-cylinder junction. This misalignment considered in the vessel’s structure is because of girth weld that is found in most of the fabrications of such type of structures. Geometric misalignment of 50% of thickness is considered for this particular study. The work evaluates the geometrical effects of misalignment on the fatigue behavior of the press… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
