Original Abstract

This article deals with lifetime calculations of electrofusion socket joint. Lifetime (in the sense of remaining time of propagating crack without the crack initiation period) of electrofusion socket is calculated using a combination of linear elastic fracture mechanics and finite element modelling. The lifetimes are calculated for a basic situation and then influence of possible design changes on the lifetime is discussed - design changes proposed include changing the wall thickness of the socket, the shape and length of the loose pipe ends and also covering the outer surface of the socket with a layer of aluminum. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers.
