The simulation results of the stress-strain state using the software ANSYS area pipe connection to the steam boiler high pressure drum for pipe connections of various diameters and wall thickness. The areas of extreme local stresses and values of strains caused by the pressure inside the drum and the pipe connection and the temperature gradient in their walls have been determined, stress concentration factors have been calculated. A comparison of the calculated stresses with the stresses obtained by the strain measurement of a physical model of the drum with welded pipe connections has been made. Functions of the extreme stress changes depending on the position of the diametrical section of the pipe connection has been determined. Using the obtained values of stress and concentration coefficients allow to specify the strength calculation of the high-pressure drum and their reliance on low-cycle fatigue

An approximate theoretical analysis is presented for the determination of stress concentration factors in thick walled cylinders with sideholes and crossholes. The cylinders are subjected to both internal pressure and external shrink-fit pressure. Stress concentration factors are plotted as functions of the geometrical ratios of outside diameter-to-bore diameter, and bore diameter-to-sidehole diameter. Theoretical results are compared to experimental values available in the literature and results of experiments described in a separate paper.

The fundamental design of high pressure joints such as crosses and tees has remained the same for many years. However, the introduction of commercially available high pressure equipment operating at 600 MPa and higher has demanded improved designs for these classic connections. This study presents a new design concept for reducing the stress concentration at intersecting crossbores. Both the finite element analysis and the fatigue test results from the standard high pressure design and the new design are compared. The new approach realizes a 17–25% reduction in the stress concentration factors and a 40% improvement in fatigue life test results when compared to the standard design.

Abstract In this paper the torsion of shafts with transverse holes has been investigated experimentally. Usual methods for stress measurements, such as the method of brittle coatings and the use of sensitive extensometers, are not applied effectively to the present problem because the maximum stress occurs in the bore and does not occur on the outer surface of the shaft. The stress may be measured by the stress-freezing and slicing method but we cannot expect too much from this method for the accurate determination of the stress when the diameter of the hole is comparatively small. In treating the problem theoretically, considerable mathematical difficulties are encountered on account of its axially nonsymmetrical nature. The electroplating method recently developed by one of the authors (1), however, has been proved to be useful in this case, so the maximum stresses in shafts are measured by this method and the stress-concentration factors are found for various diameters of the hole.

Abstract A new fatigue lifetime assessment approach for offshore jacket structures is presented. It combines a previously developed numerical framework for automated determination of stress concentration factors in tubular joints and a multidimensional finite element modelling approach. The approach is explained based on a case study of an OC4 type offshore jacket. To determine the fatigue life, a directional wave spectrum is combined with the JONSWAP spectrum. The fatigue life of the jacket is assessed for two different sea states. Based on the fatigue analysis the most fatigue critical wave direction is identified. The hot spot stresses in one of the most critical joints are determined and compared to stresses obtained with the Efthymiou equations. The shortcomings of these equations are highlighted and it is shown how the numerical framework can be used to improve the current fatigue design philosophy for offshore jackets which relies on the Efthymiou equations for stress concentration factors in the welded tubular joints.

ABSTRACTA procedure is presented to predict fatigue failure of thick-walled cylinders containing discontinuities at the OD. Both crack initiation life and crack growth are considered. The elastic-plastic strains at an OD discontinuity are estimated using an elastic analysis and stress concentration factors. The strain estimates are then used in conjunction with low cycle fatigue data to determine the initiation life. Crack growth life is estimated by integration of a power law relationship. The results obtained by using this analysis method compared to measured fatigue life data for several OD initiated failures in thick-walled cylinders agrees to within about 10 percent.
