Abstract In vessel component design by analysis, two failure modes are routinely investigated: Protection against plastic collapse and Protection against local failure. In elevated temperature service, creep rupture stress is the basis for elastic numerical analysis for establishing compliance with protection against the first failure mode. When compliance is not met, Elastic Perfectly Plastic (EPP) being a more accurate tool is proposed to verify the design using a factored rupture-based stress as yield (Sy = 1.25S). It seems that related work about adjusted yield stress has not been presented and validations are still needed using ASME VIII-2, part 5 combined load factor. Regarding local failure, an isochronous stress-strain curve has been used to determine the final stage strain for a total time duration, and compare to limits set by ASME III-NH. Code case 861 is also used to evaluate the minimum total inelastic strain and its conservativeness compared to the isochronous stress-strain curve approach.

This work is to address the creep analysis for components at elevated temperatures based on isochronous stress-strain curve and the elastic-perfectly plastic material model through numerical analyses. Numerical results presented that the creep deformation is very sensitive to the target inelastic strain chosen for analysis. A small inelastic strain, corresponding to a small yield stress, can cause very conservative result for the case studied. Moreover, the target inelastic strain, corresponding to the minimum inelastic strain along with the given path, is different from each other for various internal pressures.

The basic autofrettage theory assumes elastic-perfectly plastic behaviour. Because of the Bauschinger effect and strain-hardening, most materials do not display elastic-perfectly plastic properties and consequently various autofrettage models are based on different simplified material strain-hardening models, which assume linear strain-hardening or power strain-hardening or a combination of these strain-hardening models. This approach gives a more accurate prediction than the elastic-perfectly plastic model and is suitable for different strain-hardening materials. In this paper, a general autofrettage model that incorporates the material strain-hardening relationship and the Bauschinger effect, based upon the actual tensile-compressive stress-strain curve of a material is proposed. The model incorporates the von Mises yield criterion, an incompressible material, and the plane strain condition. Analytic expressions for the residual stress distribution have been derived. Experimental results show that the present model has a stronger curve-fitting ability and gives a more accurate prediction. Several other models are shown to be special cases of the general model presented in this paper. The parameters needed in the model are determined by fitting the actual tensile-compressive curve of the material, and the maximum strain of this curve should closely represent the maximum equivalent strain at the inner surface of the cylinder under maximum autofrettage pressure.

This paper describes a new design method to obtain the inelastic deformation of pipelines induced by temporary ground deformations. The proposed design method consists of an elastic solution and a strain conversion procedure which was developed to predict the inelastic strain distribution by using the elastic solution and a stress-strain curve. Roundhouse type, yield-plateau type, and trilinear stress-strain curves are considered. Validation of the proposed method is conducted by comparing the results predicted by the proposed method with the results obtained by finite element analyses.

The present study deals with the extended version of our previous research work. In this article, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry and engineering stress–strain curve of the cold metal transfer (CMT) weldment, a MATLAB based application window (second version) is developed with certain modifications. In the first version, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry, apart from weld bead characteristics, x and y coordinates (24 from each) of the extracted points are considered. Finally, in the first version, 53 output values (five for weld bead characteristics and 48 for x and y coordinates) are predicted using both multiple regression analysis (MRA) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) technique to get an idea related to the complete weld bead geometry without performing the actual welding process. The obtained weld bead shapes using both the techniques are compared with the experimentally obtained bead shapes. Based on the results obtained from the first version and the knowledge acquired from literature, the complete shape of weld bead obtained using ANFIS is in good agreement with the experimentally obtained weld bead shape. This motivated us to adopt a hybrid technique known as ANFIS (combined artificial neural network and fuzzy features) alone in this paper for predicting the weld bead shape and engineering stress–strain curve of the welded joint. In the present study, an attempt is made to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction when the number of trials is reduced to half and increasing the number of data points from the macrograph to twice. Complete weld bead geometry and the engineering stress–strain curves were predicted against the input welding parameters (welding current and welding speed), fed by the user in the MATLAB application window. Finally, the entire weld bead geometries were predicted by both the first and the second version are compared and validated with the experimentally obtained weld bead shapes. The similar procedure was followed for predicting the engineering stress–strain curve to compare with experimental outcomes.

Abstract We have investigated a relation between micromechanical processes and the stress-strain curve of a dry fiber network during tensile loading. By using a detailed particle-level simulation tool we investigate, among other things, the impact of “non-traditional” bonding parameters, such as compliance of bonding regions, work of separation and the actual number of effective bonds. This is probably the first three-dimensional model which is capable of simulating the fracture process of paper accounting for nonlinearities at the fiber level and bond failures. The failure behavior of the network considered in the study could be changed significantly by relatively small changes in bond strength, as compared to the scatter in bonding data found in the literature. We have identified that compliance of the bonding regions has a significant impact on network strength. By comparing networks with weak and strong bonds, we concluded that large local strains are the precursors of bond failures and not the other way around.

Three different definitions of the yield point have been used in experimental work on the yield locus: proportional limit, proof strain and the ‘yield point’ by backward extrapolation. The theoretical implications of the ‘yield point’ by backward extrapolation are examined in an analysis of the loading and re-loading stress paths. It is shown, in connection with experimental results by Miastkowski and Szczepinski, that the proportional limit found by inspection is in fact a point located by backward extrapolation based on a small section of the stress-strain curve, near the elastic portion of the curve. The effect of different definitions of the yield point on the shape of the yield locus and some considerations for the choice between them are discussed.
