An Overview of Linear and Non-Linear Analysis in Piping Stress Calculations
In reality, the behavior of any system is not completely linear. Linear analysis can only approximate the behavior of the system to an extent. Generally, Non-linear behavior may be due...
Allowable Stress for Pressure Relieving Reaction Load vs Occasional load
Piping systems be protected against over-pressuring by Pressure-relieving devices like pressure safety valves, and pressure relief valves, … by realizing extra pressure (popping up) according to...
The piping engineering would not have been developed so much in absence of piping software packages. Today, almost all the piping design activities are performed using various piping software...
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...
