    Abstract

    This paper compares different methods for predicting the influence of residual stresses on brittle fracture. Comparison is made between fracture predictions of a local statistical approach based on the Beremin type model, with those of a well-known fracture assessment procedures, BS7910 and R6 that uses a failure assessment diagram (FAD). The results from both methods are discussed and compared. The study focuses on the behaviour of a ferritic steel pipe containing a part-through circumferential thumb-nail crack on the outer surface of the vessel.
