..., using corrosion mapping and fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment from the data collected, along with the inherent conservatism of this data from limited measurement accuracy, may result in the premature replacement of risers. A literature search is being conducted to review existing riser inspection...

...-modeling research on the violence of impact, thermal, and shock-induced reactions is briefly reviewed in this paper. Contributed by the Pressure Vessels and Piping Division for publication in the JOURNAL OF PRESSURE VESSEL TECHNOLOGY . Manuscript received by the PVP Division August 27, 2004; revision...

... other data in an interesting review paper by Axisa et al. 14 . The effect of void fraction between 80 and 100%, and the effect of air-water versus steam-water mixtures in particular are discussed. Axisa et al. 9 were the first to present results on vibration of a tube bundle subjected to both...

... provided independent review of the benchmark process, and guided this benchmark program to a successful conclusion. This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. The findings and opinions expressed in this paper are those of the authors...

...P. Dong; F. W. Brust In this paper, the recent advances in weld residual stress modeling procedures are first reviewed within the context of pressure vessel and piping applications. A typical pipe girth weld was then used as an example to highlight some of the critical issues in weld residual...

... and detailed review of site effects on seismic behavior of pipelines is presented. For the purpose, quantitative analysis of damage, earthquake field observation, theoretical and experimental study, and related seismic design are discussed, and research needs are pointed out.
