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...
Maximum shear stress theory provides failure criteria for mechanical components made of ductile material. This failure criterion is developed by the French mechanical engineer, Henri Tresca, and...
What is Von Mises Theory of Failure? Formula for Von Mises Stress
Von Mises Stress criterion is one of the widely used criteria for designing ductile material engineering components. To judge if a design is within design limits and will work safely for its design...
Moment of Inertia: Introduction, Definition, Formula, Units, Applications
Moment of Inertia is a very useful term for mechanical engineering and piping stress analysis. It represents the rotational inertia of an object. The moment of inertia signifies how difficult is to...
The guided Cantilever method is one of the approximate methods for piping flexibility checking. This method is widely used by piping designers to check the approximate flexibility of simple piping...
