Abstract:Piping elbows under in-plane bending moment are vulnerable to cracking. The crack initiates at the surface and eventually reaches through the thickness and may lead to failure. The structural integrity assessment requires knowledge of the limit load. Limit load solutions for elbows with through-wall crack configurations are available in the open literature. But solutions for surface crack are not available. This paper presents a closed form expression for the plastic collapse moment (PCM) of 90°, long radius elbows with circumferential surface cracks at the intrados, under in-plane bending moment. The expression is derived, based on the results of non-linear (geometric and material) FE analyses covering a wide range of geometries and crack sizes. These plastic collapse moments evaluated herein will help in structural integrity assessment.
