@ Biginch,
Yes it would be preferable if you size the anodes based on the coating life. But sometimes Owners tend to specify different durations say 5 years for the anodes and 3 for the coating. So you consider the influence of the coating for the first 3 years and for the remainder, calculate...
I think the Cathodic Protection Systems were designed previously without considering the influence of coating on the corrosion behavior. So this lead to increased demand on the number of anodes and the design current etc. But over the last few years Coatings have been found useful in...
Koolraj : As ESPcomposites pointed out , Finite Element Method uses a series of steps before calculating strains and Stresses. I would to add that stresses and strains which are expressed in the matrix form are related by the constitutive matrix which includes all the elastic constants of the...
