AbstractAbstract
[en] A comparative summary of Project FALSIRE Workshop analyses of the second pressurized-thermal-shock experiment (PTSE-2) is presented. All analytical predictions are found to underestimate the measured crack-mouth-opening displacement (CMOD) and crack propagation data for the first loading transient. Additional analyses performed subsequent to the FALSIRE Workshop are described that examine some possible explanations for these differences in predicted and measured structural response. Updated analysis results based on temperature-independent material and physical properties are shown to substantially underestimate measured data describing time histories of circumferential surface strains. No improvement in the comparisons is obtained by incorporating temperature-dependent properties into plane stress or plane strain models. However, two-dimensional models may not be adequate to represent the structural response of the vessel. A pronounced axial dependence of the measured CMOD and crack extension data from the first transient implies that significant three-dimensional loading effects may have played an important role in the experiment. 4 refs., 40 figs., 12 tabs
