Ratcheting boundary of pressurized pipe under reversed bending
Xiaohui Chen, Xu Chen and Zifeng Li
Abstract
Ratcheting boundary is firstly determined by experiment, elastic-plastic finite element analysis combined with C-TDF and linear matching method, which is compared with ASME/KTA and RCC-MR. Moreover, based on elastic modulus adjustment procedure, a novel method is proposed to predict the ratcheting boundary for a pressurized pipe subjected to constant internal pressure and cyclic bending loading. Comparison of ratcheting boundary of elbow pipe determined by the proposed method, elastic-plastic finite element analysis combined with C-TDF and linear matching method, which indicates that the predicted results of the proposed method are in well agreement with those of linear matching method.
