I am modeling some steam piping in a stress program and need to input translational stiffness information on some expansion joints.
This is a typical problem I have run into before. I found some old catalog information, but I don't have good confidence in it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am not comfortable with modeling the joint as "free" in all directions.
Thanks!
