The design and reliability of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes can be dictated by the
damage tolerance of their butt-fusion joints. A slow crack growth (SCG) model based on the …

Reference stress approximations for the J integral and crack tip opening displacement
(COD) for circumferential through-wall cracked pipes under tension and under bending are …

Three‐dimensional, elastic–plastic finite element analyses for circumferential through‐wall
cracked pipes are performed using actual tensile data of stainless steels, for two purposes …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) has proven to be effective for repairing and
