Description

The rate of fatigue crack growth was slower in the test as had been expected from ASME XI wet-curve and a preliminary results of an autoclave fatigue test. LBB conditions were achieved in the test as could be predicted from calculated MFE-results. The analytical LBB prediction methods showed that the loading capacity of the weakened cross section was not reached and thus a leak type failure was expected. (orig./HP)
