Hi all... there is a course in stress analysis with CEASAR 2 software (15 days). Is it ok to do that course without doing the basic course in piping. I do have exposure to piping since I am working in same field for two years now. But I have not taken any formal training in piping and no expereince in stress analysis either. I want to do this course to look for a career in stress analysis but confused whether this wil help or not. so please help me all you experienced people there...


course syllebus is as below
Role of Stress Engineering / Basic Stress Concepts Basic Stress strain theory.
Concept of stress range, Code of companies for ASME B31.3, B31.1 Designing system for sustain, expansion, occasional loadings.
Different types of pipe supply – function of each supply Mark up etc
Overview of Ceaser II version 5.0 software, Modelling practice.
Storage tank – Pump system modeling
Column – Heat exchanger model. WRC – 107 analyses.
Theroy Load case generation/ PSV force calculation / Slug force/ Rupture disk calculation / Support span calculation / Nomograph
Basic of spring / Expansion joints, Modelling procedure in CAESAR.
Air Fin Cooler model, Pipe rack analysis.
Modelling Practice for above topics & covering balanced Syllabus.
Preparing Stress critical linelist & Stress system Formation – Practical
Overview of Critical system like – Compressor, Turbine, Pumps, Columns etc.

I'd default to Richard Ay for advice on this one.

COADE does as good a job - or better - than anyone else teaching courses with a similar syllabus, particularly if it's their software being used for the analysis.

The syllabus looks good. Hopefully the scope and detail are commensurate with the 15-day (2 week) duration.

Regards,

SNORGY.

My two cents:

If you don't do the basic course in piping, you may find yourself "over your head" in concepts that the teacher assumes everyone knows.

It may also impact your ability to get a career in stress analysis -- if all you've learned is how to apply one particular software (even if it excellent software), you're not going to go far when presented with problems that require some basic knowledge.

You are right john. Although I might get a valuable training in US but its recession time. US seems far now.
"I work in Middle East in a piping fabrication company" sorry I should have made this information availabe in my first post itself.

Bottom line is...if you are being offered to take a course, then take it. The syllabus looks good. If you learn only one thing, then it's still one thing that you didn't know before.

In the environment in which *I* work (EPC), employers don't actually "train" people. Apparently, you are just supposed to already know everything, or buy your own codes and software, or take your own courses and teach yourself - on your own time - the things you don't know.

Not that I'm bitter.

Therefore, jump at every training opportunity that comes your way.

If someone is sponsoring you to take the class, I agree you should go for it. I don't know what classes run over there - here in the States, such training classes tend to be prohibitively expensive. ASME seems stuck in an outdated mindset that companies are going to pay to send people to these classes, both in terms of when they're scheduled and how much they cost.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Peng's book and I would definitely give it a solid recommendation. Through working with some good mentors where I am, I've already been exposed to most of it, but it's exactly the kind of thing that I would have found very useful starting out.

LSThill,
Anyone can list a stream of Bibliography. Why not actually contribute with advise rather than continually copying and posting listing's of references.

StressGuy,
I agree with you the new book by Peng is an excellent Pipe Stress analysis book. What I find is that there is little out there regarding Creep-Fatigue interaction assessments for pipework.

DSB123,

Are you looking for something beyond what is covered in ASME B31.3-2006 Appendix V?

Way back in the 80's I was employed as a site engineer in the utilities plant of a *big* refinery. Operations aked me to look into the effects of elevated temperature excursions in the 900#-600# steam let-down piping, which often approached or exceeded the graphitization threshold for carbon steel. At that time, I either did not know about ASME B31.3 Appendix V, or it didn't exist; whatever the case, the Regulator suggested that I approach the problem as one in which creep was of primary concern and the kinetics of graphitization were probably of secondary importance. Via an approach that was somewhat similar to what is now in B31.3 Appendix V, I ended up with a fairly simple plot of theoretical remaining creep-rupture life as a function of excursion magnitude and duration. The result was that we re-programmed the steam system trips to alarms and trended each excursion so that the "trip" would only be invoked after the expiration of theoretical rupture life (actually some factor less than that).

The Regulator approved the idea, it was implemented, and I waited anxiously for ten years for the Statute Of Limitations to expire in hopes that nothing blew up.

Now, of course, there is B31.3 Appendix V...

Hmmm....

SNORGY.
