Thermal fatigue may develop in piping elbow with high temperature stratified flow. To prevent the fatigue damage by stratified flow, it is important to know the distribution of thermal stress and temperature history in a pipe. In this study, heat conduction inverse analysis method for piping elbow was developed to estimate the temperature history and thermal stress distribution on the inner surface from the outer surface temperature history. In the inverse analysis method, the inner surface temperature was estimated by using the transfer function database which interrelates the inner surface temperature with the outer surface temperature. Transfer function database was calculated by FE analysis in advance. For some patterns of the temperature history, inverse analysis simulations were made. It was found that the inner surface temperature history was estimated with high accuracy.

Currently, the standards that deal with the determination of the properties of rigidity and strength for structural round timber elements do not take in consideration in their calculations and mathematical models the influence of the existing irregularities in the geometry of these elements. This study has as objective to determine the effective value of the modulus of longitudinal elasticity for structural round timber pieces of the Eucalyptus citriodora genus by a technique of optimization allied to the Inverse Analysis Method, to the Finite Element Method and the Least Square Method.

An inverse heat conduction analysis method for piping elbow was developed to estimate the temperature and stress distribution on the inner surface by measuring the outer surface temperature. In the paper, the accuracy for the thermal stress calculation using the inverse heat conduction analysis method was confirmed by comparing with the reference results from normal FE heat conduction and thermal stress analyses. In the case of the measured-basis fluid temperature input from a high temperature–pressure test, the inverse analysis method estimated the maximum stress change by 7% conservative comparing with the normal FE analyses.
