Prediction of Tensile Strain Capacity for X52 Steel Pipeline Materials Using the Extended Finite Element Method

Strain-based design (SBD) plays an important role in pipeline design and assessment of pipelines subjected to geo-hazards.Under kelly green visor such hazards, a pipe can be subjected to substantial plastic strains, leading to tensile failure at locations of girth weld flaws.For SBD, the finite element method (FEM) can be a reliable tool to calcula

A Spectral Solver for Solar Inertial Waves

Inertial waves, which are predominantly driven by the Coriolis force, likely play an important role in solar dynamics, and, additionally, they ellakai provide a window into the solar subsurface.The latter allows us to infer properties that are inaccessible to the traditional technique of acoustic wave helioseismology.Thus, a full characterization o
