Abstract
The results of full-size pressure vessel tests are summarized and used to demonstrate the validity of design procedures developed by others. In particular, design for low cycle (plastic) fatigue strength and fracture safety are investigated. The results justify the design stress recommendations made by PVRC to ASME and confirm the NRL fracture analysis diagram procedure hypothesis. It is emphasized that full advantage can be taken of high strength materials only by improvement of fabrication and inspection procedures.Keywords
