Abstract

Our study aims at the modifications of pc-PRAISE to provide capabilities for probabilistic analysis of fatigue-crack initiation and growth. This expanded version of the software is referred to as Version 4.2. The PRAISE code was originally developed to provide a probabilistic treatment of the growth of crack-like weld defects in piping due to cyclic loading (Harris et al. 1981; Lim 1981). The purpose of the efforts reported herein is to expand the capabilities of PRAISE to include a probabilistic treatment of fatigue-crack initiation in low alloy ferritic piping steels. The current capabilities for analyzing fatigue-crack growth are then used to continue the calculations to crack penetration of the pipe wall.
