This research focuses on generating the plastic collapse load boundaries of a cylindrical vessel with a radial nozzle via employing three different plastic collapse load techniques. The three plastic collapse load techniques employed are the plastic work curvature (PWC) criterion, the plastic work (PW) criterion, and the twice-elastic-slope (TES) method. Mathematical based determination of plastic collapse loads is presented and employed concerning both the PWC and the PW criteria. A validation study is initially conducted on a pressurized 90-degree pipe bend structure subjected to in-plane closing bending via finite element analyses along with an elaborate explanation of the mathematical approaches for determining the plastic collapse loads via the PWC and the PW criteria. Outcomes of the validation study revealed very good outcomes for the three techniques. Accordingly, the aforementioned three techniques are utilized to determine the plastic collapse load boundaries of a pressurized cylindrical vessel/nozzle structure subjected to in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OP) bending loadings applied on the nozzle one at a time. The TES method revealed considerate limitations when applied within the medium to the high internal pressure spectra. It is shown that both the PWC and the PW criteria outperform the TES method in computing the plastic collapse loads. The vessel/nozzle structure revealed relatively higher plastic collapse moment boundaries under IP bending as compared to OP bending. Conclusively, methodical steps are devised for determining the plastic collapse loads via the PWC and the PW criteria for the ease of systematic application on pressurized structures in general.

Collapse Behavior

Pipe elbows are the most critical components in any piping system. However, the earlier experiments on cracked elbows were focused mainly on the determination of limit load of through wall cracked elbow. The experimental results of plastic collapse load of seven carbon steel 900 elbows, subjected to in-plane opening bending moment, are reported in this work. Among the selected specimens, three were defect-free elbows and six had axial surface cracks at the intrados, crown or at extrados. Test arrangement and the collapse behavior with and without cracks were presented. The plastic collapse loads were then obtained on the basis of experimental results. Reasonably good matching between test results and existing estimation formulae has been observed.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of structural deformations and bend angle on plastic collapse load of pipe bends under an in-plane closing bending moment (IPCM). A large strain formulation of three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis was performed using an elastic perfectly plastic material. A unified mathematical solution was proposed to estimate the collapse load of pipe bends subjected to IPCM for the considered range of bend characteristics. Design/methodology/approach ABAQUS was used to create one half of the pipe bend model due to its symmetry on the longitudinal axis. Structural deformations, i.e. ovality (Co) and thinning (Ct) varied from 0% to 20% in 5% steps while the bend angle (ø) varied from 30° to 180° in steps of 30°. Findings The plastic collapse load decreases as the bend angle increase for all pipe bend models. A remarkable effect on the collapse load was observed for bend angles between 30° and 120° beyond which a decline was noticed. Ovality had a significant effect on the collapse load with this effect decreasing as the bend angle increased. The combined effect of thinning and bend angle was minimal for the considered models and the maximum per cent variation in collapse load was 5.76% for small bend angles and bend radius pipe bends and less than 2% for other cases. Originality/value The effect of structural deformations and bend angle on collapse load of pipe bends exposed to IPCM has been not studied in the existing literature.

Bend Angles

Bends are an integral part of a piping system. Because of the ability to ovalize and warp they offer more flexibility when compared to straight pipes. Piping Code ASME B31.3 [1] provides flexibility factors and stress intensification factors for the pipe bends. Like any other piping component, one of the failure mechanisms of a pipe bend is gross plastic deformation. In this paper, plastic collapse load of pipe bends have been analyzed for various bend parameters (bend parameter = tRbrm2) under internal pressure and in-plane bending moment for various bend angles using both small and large deformation theories. FE code ABAQUS version 6.9EF-1 has been used for the analyses.

Single Flaw

General components such as pressure vessels, piping, storage tanks and so on are designed in accordance with the construction codes based on the assumption that there are no flaws in such components. There are, however, numerous instances in which in-service single or multiple volumetric flaws (local thin areas; volumetric flaws) are found in the equipment concerned. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a Fitness for Service (FFS) rule, which is capable of judging these flaws. The procedure for a single flaw or multiple flaws has recently been proposed by Konosu for assessing the flaws in the p–M (pressure-moment) Diagram, which is an easy way to visualize the status of the component with flaws simultaneously subjected to internal pressure, p and external bending moment, M due to earthquake, etc. If the assessment point (Mr, pr) lies inside the p–M line, the component with flaws is judged to be safe. In this paper, numerous experiments and FEAs for a cylinder with external multiple volumetric flaws were conducted under (1) pure internal pressure, (2) pure external bending moment, and (3) subjected simultaneously to both internal pressure and external bending moment, in order to determine the plastic collapse load at volumetric flaws by applying the twice-elastic slope (TES) as recommended by ASME. It has been clarified that the collapse (TES) loads are much the same as those calculated under the proposed p–M line based on the measured yield stress.

History Effect

This paper is evaluates the effects of load history on the plastic collapse load of stainless steel members with a single-edge notch. It considers, both the tension force due to an internal pressure and the bending moment caused by an earthquake, considered as load cases for a structure. Experimental equipment was specially developed to cope with the indeterminate problems in fracture mechanics. In this experiment, the stress state of a plastic collapse point was assessed using a membrane stress and axial displacement chart as well as a bending stress and deflection angle chart, which is well known as the ligament method. As a result, we successfully developed a new method for assessing plastic collapse under a complex load. We found that a different load history affects the formation of the plastic region and the collapse point position. The effects of load history on the plastic collapse load were not very big.

Cracked Cylinder

This paper aims to analyze the plastic collapse moment of circumferential cracked cylinder under pure torsion using the NSC approach and 3D FE model. The material considered in this work is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic. The influences of geometric parameters of crack and cylinder, such as Rm/t, a/t and θ/π on solution of plastic collapse load are also investigated. The analysis shows that for the case of a/t < 0.75, the values of limit torsion moment can be estimated by NSC analysis which provides conservative results. However, for the case of deeper crack, a/t ≥ 0.75, the limit load solution predicted by NSC approach may not be safe, because the distribution of stress at yielding state does not correspond to the NSC assumption. Therefore, the approximated solution of collapse torsion moment for the case of deeper crack with a/t ≥ 0.75 is proposed based on FE analysis.
