Abstract: This study describes inelastic seismic design of piping systems considering the damping effect caused by elastic–plastic property of a pipe support which is called an elastic–plastic support. Though the elastic–plastic ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an improved contactless measurement method for vibration stress of piping systems, by which the measurement time is shorter and the measuring works are more simple. The proposed method includes two ...

Abstract: This study presents the response mitigation effect of piping systems by inelastic seismic design based on elastic–plastic property of steel pipe supports. The inelastic seismic design to control vibration by absorbing ...

Abstract: In nuclear power plants, vibration stress of piping is frequently measured to prevent the occurrence of fatigue failure. A simpler and more efficient measurement method is desired for rapid integrity evaluation of piping. ...

Abstract: In nuclear power plants, vibration stress of piping is frequently evaluated to prevent fatigue failure. A simple and fast measurement method is attractive to evaluate many piping systems efficiently. In this study, a method ...

Abstract: This study proposes a method to measure pressure pulsations in piping systems easily and directly for their accurate evaluation of occurrence location and pressure amplitude. In the proposed method, the pulsations were ...

Abstract: To improve design and troubleshooting techniques of piping systems for operating power plants, it is necessary to investigate, by experiment and simulation, the behavior of fluid inside the piping system in detail. This ...
