Z-factor equations for elastic-plastic fracture mechanics analysis prescribed in the JSME rules on fitness-for-service for nuclear power plants

Fracture strength of cracked pipes made of moderate toughness materials is derived using J-integral value, which represents the driving force for fracture, and J-R curve, which corresponds to the material strength. However, in practical applications, it is not easy to obtain the J-integral value and...
