“…The experimental and numerical simulation values of P1200-2, P1200-3, and P1200-4 were 2.90 MPa, 2.32 MPa, and 1.85 MPa, and 2.82 MPa, 2.29 MPa, and 1.83 MPa, respectively. There are differences in the material properties because of the manufacturing process and the impact of aging [40,41]. Figure 19 reveals that the increase in pipe wall thickness will increase the internal pressure bearing capacity.…”

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes have been extensively applied in water supply network fields. Understanding the mechanical properties and burst pressure of PVC pipes is necessary because a large number of pipes rupture due to excessive internal water pressure. In this paper, a practical approach based on the average shear stress yield (ASSY) criterion was proposed to assess the PVC pipe burst pressure. In addition, the PVC uniaxial tensile tests and the pipe burst tests were carried out to determine the material characteristic parameters and burst pressure of the PVC pipe. Furthermore, a finite element analysis (FEA) of PVC burst pressure was also performed based on the tangent intersection (TI) method to validate the proposed method and experimental results. Moreover, the impact of material parameters and pipe size, such as the strain hardening exponent and standard dimension ratio (SDR) on bursting pressure, were investigated. The comparison with the proposed theoretical model and the experimental and FEA results shows that the burst pressure derived from ASSY was consistent with the experimental data, with a relative error ranging from −2.76% to 2.65%, which is more accurate compared to other yield criteria. The burst pressure obtained by the ASSY approach declined with the increase of the hardening exponent n and increased with the increase of SDR. Therefore, the burst pressure solution-based ASSY proposed in this paper is an adequately suitable and precise predictive tool for assessing the failure pressure of PVC pipes.

Fatigue performance is often a key aspect when dealing with existing steel structures such as steel bridges or offshore constructions. This issue proves to be more critical as these structures are usually located in aggressive environments and are thus exposed to progressive degradation. Indeed, disruptive phenomena such as corrosion can severely worsen the fatigue performance of the steel components. Currently, the normative standards do not provide a codified procedure for the fatigue checks of steel structures subjected to ongoing corrosion. Within this framework, in this paper a simplified approach for the life-cycle assessment of corroded steel structures is proposed. For this purpose, the concept of “critical corrosion degree” is introduced, allowing the expression of corrosion fatigue checks in a more direct “demand vs. capacity” form with respect to the currently available methods. A first validation of such methodology is reported for the corrosion fatigue tests drawn from the literature. The predicted levels of critical corrosion are in good agreement with the values of artificially induced corrosion (i.e., 4, 8, and 12% of mass loss, respectively), with a maximum relative error of ≈9.3% for the most corroded specimen. Finally, parametrical analyses are performed, highlighting the influence of the model parameters on the corrosion fatigue performance of the steel elements.

“…Moreover, dislocation density decreases with increasing annealing temperature [12]. Although the effect of holding time on the microstructure of steel is weaker than the peak temperature, the microstructure of steel will coarsen with time, and properties show random behavior, increasing its variance as aging time increases [13][14][15]. At the same time, the cooling rate also has a great effect on the microstructure evolution.…”

To attain microstructure transformation and the kinetics of phase transformation under stress during the annealing process, dilatometric curves of phase transformation for Q235 steel were tested using a Gleeble-3500 thermal-mechanical simulator under different uniaxial compressive stresses. The Johnson–Mehl–Avrami (JMA) model considering impingement correction was applied to study the phase-transformation kinetics during annealing. The results showed that the grain size increased with increasing uniaxial compressive stresses because it provided additional energy for grain growth. Furthermore, the interfacial migration velocity decreased with increasing stress owing to grain coarsening and a decrease in the density of the α/γ boundary. Meanwhile, the stress reduces the sum of the misfit accommodation energy and interface energy caused by the transformation, and the driving force required for the transformation of austenite to ferrite decreases. Hence, it was concluded that uniaxial compressive stress plays a complex role in the phase transformation, which inhibits interfacial migration and the transformation rate while providing additional energy for the transformation.
