Fatigue of NPP Components and Piping under Service Conditions
Source abstract
Abstract
Empirical equations are proposed for description of fatigue curves (up to 1012 cycles) of steels employed in NPP equipment and pipelines. Parameters of the obtained equations allow one to take into account the loading cycle asymmetry, corrosive and mechanical interaction between the coolant and pipeline metal, and the metal ductility reduction under service conditions.
