Service Simulation Tests to Determine the Fatigue Life of OD Notched Thick-Wall Cylinders

Abstract

Simulation specimens were used to model the fatigue behavior of an OD notched internally pressurized cylinders of alloy steel. Results from continuum mechanics and finite element analyses are described for use in selection of simulation test conditions. The effects of notch depth and residual stress on fatigue life are determined from the simulation tests.
