...Chunsheng Miao; Jianping Zhao Based on the statistical analysis from a great deal of failure cases, generally, the failure causes of buried pipeline can be classified into four factors, namely, third-party damage, erosion–corrosion damage, design and construction error, and incorrect operation...

... plasticity statistical analysis stress-strain relations The recent tendencies for analyzing reasons of fracture or failure of pressure vessel and piping system have been gradually increased from view point of crystal plasticity level, since the phenomenological modeling of material have...

..., the current paper proposes a “ Z parameter” method to represent the magnitude of the deviation of the rupture data to master curve. Statistical analysis shows that the scattering of the Z parameter for several types of steels is supported by normal distribution. Using this method, it is possible to achieve...
