Size-dependent bending modulus of fibre composite laminates comprising unidirectional plies

TL;DR: In this article, the bending behavior of a laminate comprising unidirectional fiber composite plies is considered using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and the influence of size on the bending modulus is investigated.

Fracture Assessment of Elastic-Plastic Steel Pipelines Subject to Multi-cycle Bending

TL;DR: In this article, a large scale bending test, representative of conditions experienced under reeling of steel pipelines, is discussed and the crack driving force in terms of crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) is measured and compared with the results from three-dimensional finite-element analysis of the notched pipe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fracture Toughness Properties of the Heat-Affected-Zone in Ferritic Steel Weldments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the evaluation of upper shelf fracture to ughness properties of HAZ and found that cracks tended to deviate from higher strength coarse grain HAZ into lower strength regions compri sing weld metal or fine-grained HAZ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting the Effect of Compressive and Tensile Residual Stresses in Fracture Mechanics Specimens

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tensile and compressive residual stress in fracture mechanics specimens by the application of a mechanical pre-load was considered in the context of a C shape specimen which was mechanically pre-tensioned or pre-compressed to produce, respectively, a compressive or tensile residual stress region where the crack is introduced.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Parameter Study of a Thermal Analysis of a Bead-on-Plate Weld

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitivity study to the thermal properties is carried out and the influence on the HAZ temperatures and grain size is examined for a single weld bead laid on the surface of an AISI 316L austenite steel plate.
