Per B31.3 the limits of max. code stress = Sustained Loads+ Displacements Loads & When Sh>SL then,
Max. Code Stress = f[1.25(Sh+Sc)-SL] or
Sa + SL = f[1.25(Sh + Sc)]
What Sa + SL would be if we have external pressure? Algor pipePlus solution for 304 SST (Sc =Sh = 20,000 psi)& f =1
is 25,000...
Colleagues;
I have never used this spec. and have a few stpuid questions as follows;
A. section 6.4.2 requires to calculate appropriate pressure or force coefficients per provisions of 6.7.
B. Section 6.7 says look at Figs 6-3 thru 6-8 for pressure coefficients & table 6-4 thru 6-8 for force...
I have a simple solid plate model with a hole in it, two questions.
1. A tensile load is applied as force on nodes on the 1/2 surface of the hole. The Von Misses stresses are too high (in order of 4-5 times of the calculated Normal Stress)on the plate. What am I doing wrong here?
2. How can...
I am doing anlysis on a Gimbal, which is essentially a universal joint. Anyone has a good reference on this subject or has done universal joint analysis?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Everyone,
I started using Nastran last few months, I am modeling a support structure that has weleded joints and boltede joints. How do I model the bolted joints? I can modle the weld joints knowing the weld dimensions and the weld material, is there any other considerations for modeling a...
What kind of analysis is needed for a Gimbal expansion joint? Anybody has done this or know where I can find information?
In my humble openion, I need to find the pressure trust force and apply it to the Gimbal universal joint, does this sound correct? Also the force applied should be applied...
All of the work I do with PipePlus is double cointainment and vacuum jacketed piping. Anyone has done this type of analysis with PipePlus? I always have to input the model using the spread sheet, "manually"! Is there a way of doing this with Supperdraw? Anybody seen a book or paper...
I have a pipe specification to include waterhammer loads on a piping system. I am using the Pipeplus package. The loads are given in lbf per sections of the pipe system between two elbows. No time constant is given for the loads. B31.3 doesn't address this to my knowledge, how do I apply the...
