Creators

Description

Stresses from finite element analyses of typical pressure vessel components are classified and compared against ASME Section III stress limits. Procedures are given for the location of critical planes in vessel components, the division of total stresses into membrane, bending, and peak categories, and the assignment of stresses to the primary, secondary, or peak categories. Emphasis is placed on the presentation of specific results for a nozzle and a bolted closure analysis. 2 refs
