Linearization Techniques

Generally, industrial piping systems are supported on hangers, snubbers, friction supports, etc. Friction supports are used for free thermal expansion of the piping systems. They also have the property to absorb energy from earthquake excitation. In this paper, equivalent linearization techniques such as the Caughey method for bilinear system and the energy method are used to calculate equivalent damping of typical industrial piping system on friction support. These methods are compared in terms of the equivalent damping. An iterative response spectrum method is tried for evaluating response of the piping system using equivalent damping obtained by linearization techniques. Maximum response displacement obtained at friction support is compared with the experimental values. At the end it is concluded that the Caughey method and the energy method evaluate similar damping for the piping on friction support and also concluded that the iterative response spectrum method is easy and reasonable for use in design.

Passive energy dissipating devices, such as elastoplastic dampers (EPDs) can be used for eliminating snubbers and reducing the response of piping systems subjected to seismic loads. Cantilever and three-dimensional piping systems were tested with and without EPD on shaker table. Using a finite element model of the piping systems, linear and nonlinear time-history analysis is carried out using Newmark’s time integration technique. Equivalent linearization technique, such as Caughey method, is used to evaluate the equivalent damping of the piping systems supported on elastoplastic damper. An iterative response spectrum method is used for evaluating response of the piping system using this equivalent damping. The analytical maximum response displacement obtained at the elastoplastic damper support for the two piping systems is compared with experimental values and time history analysis values. It has been concluded that the iterative response spectrum technique using Caughey equivalent damping is simple and results in reasonably acceptable response of the piping systems supported on EPD.

Abstract The independent support motion response spectrum method (ISM) is currently used for seismic analysis to calculate the response of multiply supported piping with independent inputs of support excitations. This approach may derive considerable overestimation in the combination of group responses under the absolute sum rule of NUREG-1061 [1]. Then authors have developed an advanced method of the ISM approach named SATH (Spectrum Method Assisted by Time History Analysis). In the SATH method, both of floor response spectra and time histories of floor acceleration are used as independent inputs of support excitations. The group responses are summed with correlation coefficients which are calculated by considering each time history of modal response by independent inputs of support excitations. In this paper, the necessity of taking the effects of correlation coefficients for the group responses into account in the ISM approach is examined. The SATH method has advantage to derive a more realistic sum rule of the group responses and applicability for the actual design.

Passive energy dissipating devices like Elasto-plastic dampers (EPDs) can be used for eliminating snubbers and reducing the response of piping systems subjected to seismic loads. Cantilever and 3-dimensional piping systems were tested with and without EPD on shake table. Using a finite element model of the piping systems, linear and nonlinear time history analysis is carried out using Newmark’s time integration technique. Equivalent linearization technique such as Caughey method is used to evaluate the equivalent damping of the piping systems supported on Elasto-Plastic damper. An iterative response spectrum method is used for evaluating response of the piping system using this equivalent damping. The analytical maximum response displacement obtained at the Elasto-Plastic damper support for the two piping systems is compared with experimental values and time history analysis values. It has been concluded that, iterative response spectrum technique using Caughey equivalent damping is simple and results in reasonably acceptable response of the piping systems supported on EPD.

Modes Of Vibration

The seismic analysis of complex piping systems is often carried out by the response spectrum method. The maximum probable responses are calculated as the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) of the responses obtained in various modes of vibration for the three components of earthquake. A coupling matrix is introduced in case of modes with closely spaced frequencies. The ASME strength criterion for the pipes is based on maximum shear stress which can be calculated from the two orthogonal bending moments and the torsional moment acting on the cross section. Strictly speaking, one should know the combination of these three moments acting simultaneously which would give the maximum shear stress at the section being designed. However, the response spectrum method gives the maximum probable values which in general do not occur simultaneously. Often the pipe is conservatively designed as if these probable maximum values were occurring simultaneously. It can be shown that this procedure may overestimate the maximum shear stress by as much as 73 percent. To overcome this problem a new method is applied by which simultaneous variation in the three moments can be predicted to cause the extreme probable effect. The new method is “exact” within the framework of existing procedures and assumptions.

Modes Of Vibration

Typical seismic analysis using response spectrum method involves several steps from the initial step of extracting the modes. At the initial stage Eigen values are extracted corresponding to the modes of vibration. These give us Eigen vectors which are a series of relative displacement shapes; however these do not correspond to real displacements or stresses. Participation factors asses these Eigen vectors and grades them according to contribution they will have to the overall solution. Based on the spectral seismic acceleration, participation factor is used to calculate the mode coefficient, which is more of a scaling factor to give physical meaning to the values. Once the modes are extracted, the key issue is of combining these modes to obtain the seismic response. The modes cannot be added algebraically in reality as all the modes do not occur at the same time. Hence we employ methods which can add the modes in a more realistic manner. The objective of this paper is to do a comparative study of various mode combination methods with a focus on tank structures and study the effect of various geometrical parameters on the combination methods

Abstract High flux reactor is an important engineering test reactor, which can be used in irradiation research of materials, chemistry, isotopes, medicine and other fields. In the high flux reactor coolant system, there are a large number of nuclear pipes and the layout is complex. The optimization of seismic analysis method for reactor coolant system is an important part in the design process to ensure the nuclear pipes meet the design specifications. The traditional single point response spectrum method needs to envelope the response spectrum of different floors as the analysis input. This method is difficult to give the reasonable seismic load to the numerous nuclear pipes and it will increase the design cost and the difficulty of safety analysis about nuclear pipe. In this paper, an optimized seismic analysis method of reactor coolant system is proposed. By using the multi-point response spectrum method, the optimization of different excitation loading modes for different constrained support points is realized. The analysis results show that the multi-point response spectrum method can solve the problem that different support points are located at different elevation floors in the reactor coolant system, which makes the calculation results more accurate and reasonable. Compared with the traditional method, it can make the design more efficient and practical.

The offshore jacket platforms are primarily installed in the large oceans mainly for drilling the crude oil, carbohydrates and production of electricity. The current studies emphasize on the structural performance of offshore deck jacket platform with different bracing systems. Earthquake analysis has been performed to calculate the seismic responses, with the help of bracings to control the seismic induced vibrations of the jacket platforms. For this study, a jacket platform made up of steel members has been modeled and then analyzed under earthquake and wave loadings. This paper mainly deals to compute and compare the seismic behavior of offshore steel deck platform using SAP 2000 v20 software with bracing in the horizontal plane and bracing in both horizontal and vertical planes. The total number of 8 models has been analyzed in the SAP2000 software with bracing i.e. X, V, Inverted V and K in the vertical plane and bracing i.e. X, V, Inverted V and K in both horizontal and vertical plane. A relative study has been carried out in Time period, deck displacement and base shear. Seismic analysis using linear static, i.e. Equivalent static method (ESA) and linear dynamic, i.e. Response spectrum method (RSA) has been performed. Further deck displacement, time period and base shear are determined by Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method for various types of bracing models in both horizontal and vertical planes. Among the all various types of bracing models, Inverted V bracing in the vertical plane is found to be the optimum model among all other models.
