... composed of one or two elbows and an additional mass were conducted. From the static loading tests, the load–deflection relationship of an elbow under monotonic loading was obtained as well as the fatigue failure modes under cyclic loading depending on the several cyclic displacement levels. From...

...Izumi Nakamura; Akihito Otani; Masaki Shiratori Pressurized piping systems used for an extended period may develop degradations such as wall thinning or cracks due to aging. It is important to estimate the effects of degradation on the dynamic behavior and to ascertain the failure modes...

...Xinjian Duan; Arnaud Weck; David S. Wilkinson; Don R. Metzger Local deformation due to the interaction of small scale features such as voids or hard particles is expected to have a significant influence on the failure mode of a material. To this end, the fracture pattern of a perforated aluminum...

..., strain, critical buckling pressure, and failure mode under various temperatures were investigated. Experimental results show that PSP has an increase of short-time burst pressure at room temperature up to 129%, ring stiffness up to 19%, and critical buckling pressure up to 57% in comparison...
