Cascading failure has a great negative impact on the operation of multilevel systems. Although the frequency of this kind of failure is lower than that of general failure, it may cause outage and considerable human and economic losses. In this paper,…
Corrosion fatigue is identified as the main failure mechanism for structures working in severe corrosive medium subjected to cyclic rotating bending fatigue, for example crude oil storage tank (COST). Emphasis is placed on the study of corrosion pit…
