STUDIES OF THE FATIGUE STRENGTH OF PRESSURE VESSELS. (1) CYCLIC PRESSURE TESTS OF LARGE SIZE PRESSURE VESSELS. (2) EFFECTS OF NOTCHES AND WELD DEFECTS ON PRESSURE VESSEL FATIGUE STRENGTH. Progress Report No. 3, April 1, 1963-June 21, 1963

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4675803
The plastic fatigue strength of large pressure vessels is investigated with respect to materials, design details, fabrication methods, and inspection techniques. Stress concentration factors determined in the static stress analysis, effects of strain redistribution upon initial cycling, and results of plastic fatigae tests are correlated. (N.W.R.)
