Burst pressure estimation of Alloy 690 axial cracked steam generator U-bend tubes using finite element damage analysis
This paper presents numerical estimation of burst pressures of axial cracked U-bend tubes, considering the U-bending process analysis. The validity of the FE simulations is confirmed by comparing with published experimental data. From parametric analyses, it is shown that existing EPRI burst pressur...
