Local Buckling on Pipes

[frd03]

Hello All,

Please, What would be a good procedure to get the maximum loads (or contact pressure ) to avoid a local buckling in a pipe, for example : a straight pipe supported on the middle of span ( the region pipe/support ) and the maximum moment which could be applied on a curved pipe (elbow) to avoid the critical ovalization and buckling ?

Thanks for the help.

Is this a pressure pipe design or is this concerning structural design using a pipe section?

Hello,

In this case I would have a pressure and hot pipe (B31.1/B31.3).

Thanks

In that case see,
