“…A pallet body approach for the assessment of corner cracks using ANSYS Workbench was developed in our previous works [5][6][7]. The approach [5] is as valid as Newman and Raju analysis [8] and ASME code [9] for the computations of stress intensity factors.…”

“…The approach [5] is as valid as Newman and Raju analysis [8] and ASME code [9] for the computations of stress intensity factors. In this study, in order to compute SIFs of the corner cracks at the nozzle-cylinder intersection, the fracture model of the RPV was developed using the pallet body approach.…”

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.
