The local primary membrane stress (PL) is the stress generated due to a primary type load such as weight or pressure, but that is localized around a discontinuity such as a nozzle in a...

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...
The stress analysis methodology of air cooler piping is quite different from other types of heat exchangers. This is mainly due to its different construction and supporting arrangements. The...
Underground Piping Stress Analysis Procedure using Caesar II
Several failures in buried piping and pipeline systems over the years forced EPC companies to investigate the stresses the system is experiencing. So, in recent times, stress analysis of underground...
Many times, as stress guys, we come across complicated and long piping layouts to be modeled in CAESAR II. These may include parallel pump suction/discharge piping, inlet/outlet piping to/from...
Seismic Analysis of piping systems is performed to safeguard the piping systems from unforeseen earthquake events. During the initial design phase, based on earlier earthquake data available in codes...
