Hello,
I have calculated a branch SIF by FEA because the configuration branch dosn't exist in B31.3 table. And I wondered what about the coefficient k (Flexibility)? Should I leave CAEPIPE (Equal to CAESAR) calculate in accordance with B31.3 or should I re-determined manually or by FEA...
Hello,
I want to know if somebody has API to calculate the following stress in plane element:
- Primary General membrane stress (Pm)
- Primary bending stress (Pb)
- Secondary membrane plus bending stress (Q)
Because several results exist and I don't know which to use for the analysis of the...
Hello,
My question is the next:
If I have two temperature conditions in my pipe (T1=-140°C and T2=50°C). Must I calculate the expansion stresses by making T1-T2 or just T1 and T2 in two different case ?
Thanks
