Creep and Fatigue (Ratchet) interaction 3

[Paulettea]

Dear All

I was hoping to find some method according to ASME BPVC VIII-2 in order to find a way of evaluating some equipment for their fatigue strength in high temperatures. However, I failed in the first step by reading the article 5.1.1.3.

The design-by-analysis procedures in Part 5 may only be used if the allowable stress from Annex 3-A evaluated at the design temperature is governed by time-independent properties unless otherwise noted in a specific design procedure. If the allowable stress from Annex 3-A evaluated at the design temperature is governed by time-dependent properties and the fatigue screening criteria of 5.5.2.2 are satisfied, the elastic stress analysis procedures in 5.2.2, 5.3.2, 5.6, 5.7.1, 5.7.2, and 5.8 may be used.

What can I do in this situation?

Warm Regards

Find an expert. Engage them. Pay them.

Agree with TGS4. Don't mess about if you ain't got the knowledge!!!

Thank you TGS4.

Find an expert. Engage them. Pay them.

This can be an answer to all questions here. I mean if I have the knowledge then why would I even ask any questions? We are all here to learn.
Anyway I think by this sentence you mean this issue is far more complicated than I could even imagine but do not worry about it I am not going to design a pressure vessel in creep condition and fabricate it. In these situations even my manager will outsource such a design. I was just trying to get familiar with this kind of design. You have previously answered many of my questions regarding fatigue but this does not make me a fatigue designer. Thanks anyway.

I give this advice to folks with much experience in non-creep analyses. There is so much about creep, creep-ratcheting, and creep-fatigue that are non-intuitive, that they can quickly overwhelm even the most experienced analyst.

Go to API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Part 10. Even something seemingly as simple as material properties gets complicated in creep. Reference your recent post about average vs min properties.
