How does one hand-calculate the varying through-wall stresses of a pipe due to an axi-symmetric meridional moment ie flaring? I have no clue where to start for this one.
Thanks in advance

I have two pipe ends of the same diameter that are welded together. The pipes being made from different materials having different Young's Modulus (E) and different Coefficients of thermal expansion (a). There is an internal fluid pressure operating at a high temperature.
I want to assess the...
OK I've found posts something similar to this in the structure forum and realised that its littered with civil structure engineers. As most suggestions are to do with concrete, wood and foundations. Now I'm in the right place!

Hi,
Question: Can you make any suggestions of entry level books that will help me to follow a career as a Stress Engineer?
Background:
I've been in the nuclear industry now for 1.5 years (Graduate role) and tried lots of job roles in Mechanical Engineering; Manufacturing, Safety, Stress and...
For those whom are lazy:
Tet linear elements require 15-50 times the number of nodes for a converged solution and still provides a margin of error of 1% which is 5-10 times greater than the other elements. Is this right?

I'm interested in purchasing MathCAD 14.0, i have trialed prime 2.0 and don't like it (urgh). PTC don't appear to sell older versions, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any suppliers of the software. I have had a look around and seem to only come across a couple of counterfeit websites that are...
Afternoon,
Being a Graduate Engineer in my first job (working on FEA at the moment)I find myself wasting alot of time looking for references/sources for actual material properties for stress work.
I know stainless steels can be found in BS EN 10088. However I'm struggling to find the carbon...
