... compares material requirements and design loads of the following codes: API 6A, API 16A, API 17D, API 17G, API 17TR8, ASME VIII.2, ASME VIII.3, and NORSOK U-001 Annex B. Recommendations are given to ensure consistency between design calculation assumptions and material requirements to obtain expected...

... the statistical behavior of the real world material with a high level of detail. It is also possible to introduce features such as surface roughness and residual stresses into the simulations of DRAGen’s representative volume elements. Therefore, the fatigue life estimations performed with these representative...

.... The consistency between fitness-for-service (FFS) procedures and design requirements of pressure vessels is discussed in this work. As a key link between FFS procedures and design standards, the required material fracture toughness not only depends on the methods of FFS procedures such as failure assessment...
