## A new small-scale test method has been developed for generating steady-state rapid crack propagation in plastic pipe. Using this method, a series of exploratory tests are used to investigate the variation in critical pressure (i.e. the threshold of crack self-arrest) with parameters which are s

Rapid crack propagation can occur along pressurised pipelines of polyethylene, if a well-defined (but as yet unpredictable) crifical pressure is exceeded. The standard for type-testing of pipe to meet exacting service conditions is currently set by full-scale tests. Results from the British Gas ful
Piping elbows are one of the critical components of the cooling piping systems in power plants. This paper presents the details of fatigue crack propagation analysis based on code procedure and FEM and compares the results with experimental observations. The fatigue crack propagation was evaluated b
