Abstract: In the current research, the elastic shakedown limit loads for a cylindrical vessel–nozzle intersection is determined via a direct noncyclic simplified technique. The cylindrical vessel–nozzle intersection is subjected ...

Abstract: Determination of shakedown (SD) boundaries of 90degree plain smooth pipe bends has recently received substantial attention by several researchers. However, scarce or almost no solid information is found within the literature ...

Abstract: The objective of this research paper is to propose, to API 579 standard, a simplified assessment procedure for shakedown limit load determination. The proposed assessment procedure applies the Simplified Technique, replacing ...
