User-defined SIF is the stress intensification factor that the user input into the stress analysis program. The SIF values are usually calculated using FEA programs and then manually entered in the...
In recent times, FEA or Finite Element analysis is the most widely used method for solving engineering and mathematical models. Using Finite Element Analysis or FEA, a physical phenomenon is...
AutoPIPE vs CAESAR II: Differences between CAESAR II & AUTOPIPE
What is Autopipe? Autopipe is a computer-based engineering program to determine pipe stresses, pipe support design, flange analysis, and equipment nozzle load analysis under dynamic and static...
Time history analysis is quite popular in pipe stress analysis as it provides the most realistic specification of dynamic loads in CAESAR II. The program’s modal time history analysis can simulate...
Objective To explain why pipe stress-range calculations might not be correct if pipe support friction is not properly considered. The magnitude of the potential error in stress-range calculation...
