Simplified inelastic analysis of a 101.6-mm (4-in.), sched-10 elbow-pipe assembly subjected to an in-plane moment loading

Description

Results are reported for a simplified inelastic analysis of a thin-walled elbow pipe assembly tested under elastic-elastic-creep conditions. The analysis was performed as part of an IWGFR-sponsored Piping Benchmark Problem Effort being coordinated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Comparisons are made between calculated and measured values of free-end displacement of the assembly and of outside surface strains at selected points in the elbow. The analyses overpredicted and deflections and surface strains by factors ranging from two to five. (author)
