are available. The deformation of the crack is allowed only one direction of rotation due to bending moment and axial force. The compliance of a crack is a rotation (ψ) due to the crack per unit moment (M) or axial force (F), and can be easily calculated using the analytic solutions or the finite element analysis as follows:

iii) Define the compliances of the pipein global coordinate (Gpipe,i,global):
The compliance of pipe should be determined for both side of the crack. To calculate Gpipe,1,global, exclude boundary conditions of region 2. Then impose the unit forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and moments (Mx, My, Mz) on the crack position and calculate the deformation (x, y, z, θ, ϕ, ψ) to produce the compliance matrix as Eq. 4.42. For a case of region 2, repeat vice versa and determine Gpipe,2,global.

iv) Transform the compliances of the pipe to the crack coordinate: The coordinate of the crack decided in step ii) does not always coincide with the global coordinate. Thus, the compliances of the pipe in global coordinate should be transformed to the crack coordinate using the usual tensor transformation rule as Eq. 4.43.

Although the restraint coefficient has been derived based on the elastic beam theory, the nonlinearity of crack behavior or pipe material can be reflected in the developed formulation. When it comes to determine the compliance, one can consider following combinations:
- Linear elastic pipe (Gpipe,LE) + Elastic-plastic crack (Gcrack,LE) - Linear elastic pipe (Gpipe,LE) + Elastic-plastic crack (Gcrack,EP) - Elastic-plastic pipe (Gpipe,EP) + Elastic-plastic crack (Gcrack,EP)
In order to compare the conservatism of above cases, an example analysis was conducted using the beam model subjected the distributed as shown in Figure 4.5. 4 cases of the pipe length were analyzed (2L/Do=5, 10, 15, 20) while L1/Do was fixed to 1.
As a result, Figure 4.10 shows the comparisons the effective applied moment at cracked section (Meff,app) depending upon the Mapp calculated from the elastic analysis of the uncracked pipe. The difference between graph (a) and (b) indicates that if only the plastic behavior of a crack is considered, the applied moment can be reduced more than the case of the elastic model.
However, if the plastic deformation of the pipe occurs, the cracked section subjected more significant moment than the elastic pipe + plastic crack case
due to the load redistribution.
When the elastic-plastic behavior is considered, the compliance depends on the amount of applied load. Therefore, above steps from i) to vi) should be repeated to calculate the effective applied moment and axial force.
For convenience, following suggestion regarding the consideration of nonlinearity can be available: Under the design basis conditions, an assumption that crack and pipe do not experience the plastic behavior can lead conservative results while the case that allows the non-linear behavior of crack only is more accurate. If the applied load is large enough to cause the plastic deformation of the pipe, the elastic-plastic compliances of crack and pipe must be considered.

Chapter 5 Validation of Developed Formulations
To verify the generalized analytical formulation and concept of the effective applied moment derived in this dissertation, benchmark studies are carried out against both FEA-based numerical analysis as well as well-documented large-scale experimental data. In the benchmark against numerical analysis, both static and dynamic loading conditions are included by a series of finite element analysis. In dynamic loading conditions, a very detailed time history analysis was included.
First, in the same context as in the development process of the restraint coefficient, the effects of pressure induced bending restraint on COD were predicted using FEA from earlier studies and the results from generalized formulations were compared. Then the static analyses were performed to evaluate the amount of restraint considering the anticipated loads at the cracked section under the normal operating conditions. In addition, the crack stability analysis assumes the faulted loading condition in which the seismic load is considered. Finally, the dynamic analysis results using cracked pipe model were compared with experimental data to demonstrate that restraint coefficient is valid under the dynamic loading conditions with excellent agreements.
