... lead to underestimations of plastic limit pressure. Although many studies have been performed to obtain accurate limit load solutions for cracked straight pipes by considering realistic crack geometries, there is still a lack of information regarding slant TWC at elbow. Therefore, three-dimensional...

...B. H. Wu; Z. F. Sang; Z. L. Wang; G. E. O. Widera The objective of this study is to investigate the strength behavior and plastic limit pressure of hot-tapped pipelines under an internal pressure load. Two full scale test models were fabricated for the experiment. A three-dimensional nonlinear...
