| Abstract: |
THIS PAPER (presented at the Pipeline Technology Conference held in Ostend, Belgium, on 12-14 October, 2009) provides an evaluation of approaches for determining limit load (and equivalent reference stress) for use in failure-assessment diagram (FAD)-based fracture assessment of circumferential embedded flaws in pipe girth welds. Three-dimensional elastic plastic finite-element analyses have been conducted on pipe models containing typical circumferential embedded flaws and subject to global bending loads. ‘J-based’ limit loads (and equivalent reference stresses) and global collapse limit loads have been determined from the finite-element analyses and used to evaluate existing standard flat-plate solutions, including those in BS 7910 and R6. A general approach for determining the limit load (and the equivalent reference stress) is presented. This approach is consistent with both the finite-element results and reference stress J-estimation scheme and, consequently, allows the development of improved assessment models.
