Modeling the Crack Interference in X80 Oil and Gas Pipeline Weld

Based on the numerical simulation method of the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT), an interference model was established to investigate the physical problem of two interacting cracks of different sizes in the welding zone of oil and gas pipelines. The obtained results of the current interferenc...
