Overview of Lateral Buckling and Upheaval Buckling of Pipelines
Long pipelines are often subjected to lateral and upheaval buckling. Both upheaval and lateral buckling can induce excessive bending stresses in the pipeline that may lead to pipeline failure. In...
What is Response Spectrum? | Steps for Earthquake Response Spectrum Analysis
A response spectrum is a graphical plot of the frequency of an oscillator and its damping. The response spectrum plot represents the peak or steady-state response (velocity, displacement, or...
Stress Classification in Pressure Vessels and Piping as per ASME B31 and BPVC Codes
In this article, We will learn the stress classifications as per ASME B31 and ASME BPVC codes in detail. Stress Classification in ASME B31 For performing stress analysis while designing a...
Dynamic analysis refers to the evaluation of how a piping system responds to dynamic loads. These loads can cause vibrations, stress fluctuations, or transient forces that static analysis cannot...
Importance of Bourdon Effect, True and Effective Axial Force
Bourdon Effect on Pipelines Bourdon Effect is associated with the pressure elongation of the piping and pipeline systems. In piping and pipeline systems, elbows or bends are frequently used for...
Creep Rupture Usage Factor for Allowable Variations in Elevated Temperature Service
Appendix V of ASME B31.3 code covers the application of the Linear Life Fraction Rule, which provides a method for evaluating variations at elevated temperatures above design conditions where...
