A methodology is presented for Level 1 and 2 Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessments of process and power piping subject to random vibration loading. The intent is to provide a basis for random vibration assessment based on concepts from spectral fatigue, which is simplified to the degree that a non-specialist can conduct the FFS assessment with little prior knowledge of the subject matter. The proposed Level 1 FFS assessment is based on extension and generalization of established industry screening curves for piping vibration. The measured (overall) RMS vibration level is compared against allowable values given by the curves evaluated at the average crossing frequency of the measured vibration. The proposed Level 2 FFS assessment utilizes an allowable cyclic stress. The allowable stress is a function of the target design life as well as the average crossing frequency and kurtosis of the measured vibration. Both approaches are illustrated by example.

This study aims to describe the creative thinking abilities of students based on their level of creative thinking in solving math problems in the context of covid 19. Data collection was carried out by providing a test for solving mathematics problems in the context of Covid 19. Data analysis techniques were data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data analysis is to see how the student is solving problems with what ideas can be given. The research subjects were four students with different levels of creative thinking, then interviewed how the students completed these problems. The results showed that the subject at level 0 (not creative) only gave one answer and one way of solving the problem. Subjects with creative thinking level 1 (less creative), able to produce two different answers, and able to present data in two ways of presenting data, but only one is correct. Then the subject with level 2 (creative enough), can give one answer correctly and two ways of presenting the data correctly. While the subject with level 3 (creative) thinking can produce two different answers correctly and two ways of presenting data correctly.

Impact test exemption curves in ASME B31.3 [1] were adopted from ASME Section VIII Division 1 (VIII-1) [2] with subtle modifications. The VIII-1 exemption curves were generated based on early fracture mechanics methodologies and limited amount of test data with an assumption on maximum applied stress intended to correspond to the typical VIII-1 allowable stress criteria. The applicability of the exemption curves for low temperature applications of ASME B31.3 piping (such as blowdown events) is open to discussion because of potentially high longitudinal thermal expansion stresses that may exceed the VIII-1 allowable stress criteria. Additionally, unlike in VIII-1 and ASME Section VIII Division 2 (VIII-2) [3], there is no post weld heat treatment (PWHT) credit on Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT) in ASME B31.3. Detailed fracture mechanics analyses have shown that PWHT can significantly reduce the risk of brittle fracture failures due to its relaxation effect on weld residual stresses, a major crack driving force. In this paper, a fracture mechanics-based methodology for establishing Minimum Allowable Temperatures (MAT) for low temperature applications of ASME B31.3 piping is presented. A state-of-the-art fracture mechanics methodology published in Welding Research Council (WRC) Bulletin 562 [4] is used to develop step-by-step Level 1 and Level 2 procedures for establishing MAT for low temperature applications of ASME B31.3 piping. For the Level 1 methodology, MAT screening curves are developed based on a likely conservative assumption that the stresses in the piping component are at the maximum code allowable stresses in both the hoop and longitudinal directions. For the Level 2 methodology, stress ratio verses temperature reduction curves are developed to consider the effect of lower operating stresses. Similar to VIII-2 [3] toughness exemption curves, the screening curves are generated for both As-Welded and PWHT conditions. The curves can also be used for impact tested materials. The established MAT can be directly coupled to different reference flaw sizes and integrated with an inspection criteria for piping components. Two examples of establishing MAT using both the proposed Level 1 and Level 2 methodologies are presented herein.
