The combined effects of residual stress and warm prestressing on cleavage fracture in steels
When the structural integrity of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) in a pressurised water re- actor (PWR) is analysed, certain types of postulated accidents have to be considered. The conditions during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) resemble a warm prestressing (WPS) sce- nario. Warm prestressing...
