Pressure vessel components design and analysis; Proceedings of the Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference, New Orleans, LA, June 23-26, 1985

The present conference on pressure vessels and piping encompasses topics in the design and analysis of tubesheet, bolted flange design advancements, computational methods for nonlinear problems, the design and analysis of valve applications, and computation methods for composite pipes and pressure vessels. Specific attention is given to the design of fixed tubesheet heat exchangers, the elastoplastic analysis of U-tube heat exchanger tubesheet, a novel approach to radial nozzle design in pressure vessel heads, a new procedure for gasket factors, nuclear bolting, the behavior of bolted flanges, pipeline stress analysis for lowering operations, and dynamic analysis of crack run-arrest nonisothermal plate experiments. Also noted are issues in water-steam flows through safety relief valves, seismic design criteria for nuclear power plant control valves, and finite element analysis methods for filament-wound composites
