List of Publications

Dr. William J. O’Donnell, Sr. has authored and co-authored more than 100 technical papers spanning the core disciplines of pressure vessel and piping engineering — fatigue, creep, fracture mechanics, elevated temperature design, heat exchanger analysis, and weld fitness-for-service.

His published work has directly shaped ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code fatigue design procedures, including the widely applied O’Donnell-Porowski Solution. The publications listed here represent decades of peer-reviewed research and code development, and serve as the technical foundation for the analytical methods O’Donnell Consulting Engineers applies in practice today.
