Abstract: The allowable plastic load in pressure vessel design by analysis is determined by applying a graphical construction to a characteristic load-deformation plot of the collapse behavior of the ...

Abstract: An investigation of the shakedown behavior of axisymmetric nozzles under internal pressure is presented. The analysis is based on elastic-plastic finite element analysis and Melan’s lower bound ...

Abstract: The shakedown behavior of a thin cylinder subject to constant pressure and cyclic thermal loading is described by the well known Bree diagram. In this paper, the shakedown and ratchetting ...

Abstract: The effect of autofrettage on the stress level in thick-walled cylinders with a radial cross-bore is investigated by applying inelastic finite element analysis with cyclic pressure loading. A ...

Abstract: In ASME Design by Analysis, the plastic load of pressure vessels is established using the twice elastic slope criterion of plastic collapse. This is based on a characteristic load-deformation ...

Abstract: An investigation of the cyclic elastic-plastic response of an Olefin plant heat exchanger subject to cyclic thermal and pressure loading is presented. Design by analysis procedures for assessment ...
