Abstract: A mathematical model of a coupled cylindrical shell-fluid dynamic interaction problem based on an axisymmetric finite element analysis is presented. The dynamic solution of the problem is separated ...

Abstract: Maximum stress intensities are presented for an equal diameter unreinforced cylinder/cylinder pipe intersection of mean diameter/thickness ratio 24.7, when subjected to the complete set of six ...

Abstract: The results from a previous finite element parametric study by the authors on the effective stress factors (ESFs) occurring in piping branch junctions under internal pressure loading are used ...

Abstract: The effects of chord axial compressive stress on the ultimate strength of a DT joint subjected to brace compression have been studied both experimentally and numerically. Three experimental load cases were considered, one ...
