Description

This paper presents the theoretical analysis of circumferential crack propagation in Type 304 stainless steel pipe under tensile loading. Finite element codes and a simplified analysis method are developed to predict the stable and unstable crack propagations. Leak-before-break condition of the pipe with a circumferential part-through crack is estimated based on the net stress criterion. The relatively good agreements are obtained between the numerical solutions and the experimental results
