Abstract:Based on fundamental theory of fracture mechanics and magnetic flux leakage using the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) via the finite element modelling method, one type of magnetic-structural coupling algorithm which is suitable for single-and multi-crack growth will be proposed. Single-and multi-crack growth behaviour at different locations along circumferential and radial pipeline welds is also studied. After calculating crack incremental growth time with the above algorithm, the geometrical shape of c… 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.
