STRESS INTENSITY FACTOR OF A STEAM PIPE
SUBJECTED UNDER A THERMAL SHOCK
The temperature of a steam pipe is variable because of the steam
pressure variation inside of it. If the steam temperature variation takes place
during a short time, the steam is subjected under a thermal shock. The effect of
the thermal shock is superimposed on the effect of the mechanical load, going
to a load on the pipe. The thermal shocks are dangerous for the strength
elements.
