Abstract:Since the structural integrity of thin-walled tubes in the heat exchanger is crucial from the viewpoint of safety and reliability, the integrity evaluation for flawed tubes is quite important. Accurate estimation of the failure pressure is a key element of the structural integrity assessment. With regard to the prediction of the failure pressure, most of preceding researches have been focused on the limit load approach. However, the integrity assessment scheme based on the elastic plastic fracture mechanics co… Show more
