Dear All,
I'm trying to evaluate a method to design rectangular flange "according" to ASME PCC-1 and ASME VIII Div.2
What value should I use for pre-load the bolts in Service Criteria and Global Criteria for Elastic-Plastic Stress Analysis ?
I'm trying:
W = max(Wo;Wgs)
Wb = 1.5W (bolt...
Dear All
I'm here again with other question about Elastic-Plastic Analysis.
How should I apply LRFD concepts to bolt pretension for an analysis of bolted joint? Since I will apply the required factored loads to internal pressure...
I think I will apply the same factored loads (for internal...
Dear All
I am running an elastic-plastic analysis for a pressure vessel according to ASME VIII Div.2 - item 5.2.4 and I pretend to use a bilinear material model.
But I am in troubling about the value of the Tangent Modulus that I should use. I plotted the stressxstrain curve of the SA-516 70...
Dear All
I'm engaged in a study about bolted flange joint and I need find the flange rotation.
Someone knows how I can find the rotation by an analytical calculation?
(book, code, article...)
At moment I'm using just FEA.
Thanks in advance
Dear All
I have a question about the scope of ASME VIII Div. 1: Is included in ASME VIII Div.1 scope a pressure vessel design for operate in a FPSO (floating production storage and offloading)?
Hi guys!
My question refers to table 3-F.9 of ASME VIII Div. 2: Why the value of Sa in this table are in ksi unit (I suspect) and doesn't have any indication of this unit?
Thanks in advance.
Dear All
In ASME Section VIII, Div.1 the governing thickness (as defined in UCS-66(a)) used in Step 2 of the Figure UCS-66.2 for formed heads is: the minimum specified thickness after forming? Or is it the thickness of the plate before forming used as the governing thickness?
Thanks
