thanks to all the people that have taken the time to answer this thread. JohnBreen, Could you indicate in what part of the B31.1/B31.3 code I can find the reference to Tresca failure theory you mention?
again, thanks
Hi
I would like to know what is the failure criteria that ASME B31.1 & B31.3 codes recomend when designing piping systems. I red on a textbook that the Maximum normal stress criterion is the basis for those codes. As far as I know, that criteria applies to brittle materials only.
thanks
