Experimental investigation of a method for diagnosing wall thinning in an artificially thinned carbon steel elbow based on changes in modal characteristics
Curved cylindrical structures such as elbows have a non-uniform thickness distribution due to their fabrication process, and as a result have a number of complex mode shapes, including circumferential and axial nodal patterns. In nuclear power plants, material degradation is induced in pipes by flow...
