The over stress theory establishes the point at which failure will occur under combined loading. This theory describes the strength of the piping system including the maximum principle stress and the maximum shear stress.
When does failure by over stress occur in the piping system?
The over stress theory establishes the point at which failure will occur under combined loading. This theory describes the strength of the piping system including the maximum principle stress and the maximum shear stress.
Failure by fatigue occurs due to cyclic loading. If a small crack develops it grows after each cycle an results in failure.
