R-curve evaluation of pipeline girth welds using advanced measurement techniques [PDF]

, 2014
A strain-based flaw assessment procedure is recommended for girth welded pipelines subjected to large deformations. To evaluate the allowable defect dimensions, the tearing resistance needs to be characterized.

Sensitivity study of crack driving force predictions in heterogeneous welds using Vickers hardness maps [PDF]

, 2016
Weld flaws often require an engineering critical assessment (ECA) to judge on the necessity for weld repair. ECA is a fracture mechanics based prediction of the integrity of welds under operating conditions.

Study of SENT specimens with a tilted notch to evaluate ductile tearing in spiral welded pipeline applications [PDF]

, 2015
There is an increasing interest for the use of spiral welded pipelines in strain based design applications. Environmentally imposed loads are able to plastically deform the pipelines, meaning that their structural response is of the utmost importance ...

Design and Development of an Accessible Clip Gauge Extensometer for CMOD Measurement in Fracture Mechanics

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
A low‐cost clip gauge extensometer for crack mouth opening displacement was developed from accessible procedures and materials. Accuracy and repeatability comparable to commercial devices were demonstrated in calibration and fracture tests, enabling reliable measurement in CT specimens for resource‐constrained laboratories.

Phylogeny‐Aware Metabologenomics Accurately Assigns Natural Products to Biosynthetic Gene Clusters

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
We report a statistical approach for associating biosynthetic gene clusters with their cognate metabolites and demonstrate its unprecedented power for scalable natural product discovery. Notably, it drastically reduces spurious associations by explicitly integrating the phylogeny of microbial producer strains.

A numerical analysis of the relation between CTOD and fatigue crack growth [PDF]

, 2016
El cálculo de la vida a fatiga durante la etapa de propagación de la grieta se suele realizar relacionando da/dN con ΔK. Sin embargo, la influencia que en estos análisis tiene el parámetro ΔK debe recaer en algún otro parámetro no lineal cercano al ...

Designing phase‐adaptive UHTC multilayer composites: Layer width effects on mechanical and kinetic properties

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The B1 rocksalt transition metal carbides and nitrides are among the materials with the highest melting temperatures. Additionally, members of this group of materials possess high‐temperature strength with ductility facilitated by diffusional creep.

Prediction and Experimental Validation of the Influence of T‐Stress on I–II Mixed‐Mode Fracture in Rock

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Traditional fracture criteria only consider the singular terms in the Williams expansion and neglect higher‐order term coefficients, resulting in significant discrepancies between predicted and measured values. To advance the understanding of rock fracture mechanisms, this study introduces a generalized maximum tangential stress (GMTS) criterion by ...

Influence of Notch Geometry and Temperature on the Mechanical Properties of Al‐Mg Alloy Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 4769-4783, November 2025.
ABSTRACT At the near‐threshold regime, small irregularities on the surface can interact with the microstructure and affect the nucleation and propagation of cracks. Molecular dynamics is an effective methodology to investigate the damage evolution at this scale, and three types of defects, namely, triangular, rectangular, and crack, are examined.

Strain capacity of girth welded joints in HSAW pipes [PDF]

, 2017
The general aim of a recently finalized European project, i.e. EU RFCS SBD-Spipe, is to generate specific know-how concerning the development and possible use of spirally welded pipes for demanding applications.
