The current paper reports the results of a series of high cycle fatigue (HCF) experiments on
steel welded T-joints, tested under constant amplitude three-point bending. The eXtended …

Ratcheting effect refers to the cyclic accumulation of plastic strain under alternating load, is
one of the reasons leading to the failure of mechanical structures. The concept of structural …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study in which for the first time the
progressive inelastic deformation of high strength steel pressurized pipes with plain and …

High strength low alloy (HSLA) steel pipes such as API-X80 and beyond, have found
increasing applications in deep offshore hydrocarbon development projects. The current …

The current paper presents a novel model which generates artificial corrosion morphologies
for metallic tubulars. It computes pseudo-random 3D morphologies from the corrosion …

For pressure equipment in the industrial field, the shakedown design methods presented in
the ASME and other international design codes are mainly based on the Bree problem. The …

The present study examines local ratcheting at notch root of 1045 steel samples subjected to
asymmetric loading cycles. Ratcheting strain values were measured through strain gauges …

Metallic tubes experiences a progressive accumulation of ovalisation, or ratchet, under
cyclic inelastic bending. The current paper deals with the ratcheting behaviour of defective …

Abstract Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) is computationally
demanding, due to the multiple high-fidelity nonlinear dynamic structural response analyses …

Motivated by reeling installation of mechanically-lined offshore steel pipes, the present
paper investigates the structural performance of a bi-material lined pipe under cyclic …
