A procedure for predicting failure moment of stainless steel pipes with a circumferential crack under bending load

Key Points

• Pipes exhibit significant failure moments under bending load, indicating the need for preventive measures.
• The analysis of the circumferential crack showed a critical threshold at which failure occurs from bending forces.
• Predictive modeling was used to assess the failure moment in stainless steel pipes with noted crack types.
• These findings highlight the importance of incorporating predictive assessments in pipe design to ensure safety.
