“…8, is slightly higher than for the critical semi-elliptical relative crack depth ratio (d/t= 0.66) in the straight pipe obtained in our previous study [12]. Also, for the crack depth ratios lower than the critical (0.1 < d/t 0.66), investigated in our previous study [12], all assessment points were located in the more dangerous elasto-plastic fracture domain of the NFAD. Contrary, in this study of the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped corrosion defects with rounded corners in the straight pipe, for all defect depth ratios lower than the critical (0.1 < d/t 0.69), the assessment points are located in the less dangerous plastic collapse fracture domain of the NFAD, as shown in Fig.…”
