Abstract
This paper presents the results of ten finite-element analyses of crac ked pipe subjected to bending loads compared to the corresponding expe rimental results produced from full-scale tests. As part of the presen tation, detailed results from two international round-robin problems a re presented. In all, nine through-wall cracked pipe and one surface c racked pipe is considered. The cracked pipe includes stainless, carbon , and welded pipe.
