To maintain more or less uniform risk level, ASME B31.8 Code adopted risk based concepts indirectly through location classifications by specifying different design factors (DFs). Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) of onshore natural gas pipelines in accordance with pipeline-specific methods such as API 1104 allow much deeper defects in higher class pipe, which is in contrary to the basic design concept. This is due to the lack of consideration for the higher consequences in the higher classes even though they were considered at the design stage. To ensure the failure probability within a target value, generic fitness for service standards such as API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 and BS 7910 recommend partial safety factors (PSFs) to key variables. However, there is no correlation between the design factors used during the pipeline design stage and the PSFs used for the ECA. To achieve the basic intent of design code i.e., to maintain risk level as per location classifications, this paper proposes to use PSFs based on class location.

As such, their sound and reliable operation is crucial to the longevity of any pressurised system. The correct operation of a safety valve is established by adhering to the overpressure and blowdown requirements, i.e. the pressures above and below the set pressure which the valve will open and close and for many ASME BPVC regulated valves these pressures are of the order of 3–10% of set pressure. Since the disc forces are directly proportional to pressure, the accuracy requirements of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) prediction techniques need to be much lower to allow CFD prediction to be a reliable tool for valve design and to guide the development of the device. In this paper, the capability of CFD modelling as a design tool for relief valves used in gas service is investigated by assessing the CFD prediction of disc lift-force curves. A full force-lift curve was produced with a maximum uncertainty of 2% in the low-lift region controlling the overpressure and 1.5% in the high-lift region which controls the blowdown and is of the same order as the experimental measurement. When using ASME BPVC Section VIII as an example, where the requirements for overpressure and blowdown are 10% and 7% respectively, the current CFD modelling capabilities can predict disc forces to an acceptable fraction of the Section VIII certification requirements. However, when comparing the CFD error to ASME BPVC Section I requirements which are much stricter at 3% and 4% for overpressure and blowdown, the use of CFD is more challenging with the CFD uncertainty of the same order as the design requirements.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81209378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the difficulty and high cost of pipeline transportation, tube bundle containers are more used to transport hydrogen. As the fixing device of tube bundle container, the frame structure should not only ensure that the gas cylinder can be fixed, but also meet the requirements of stiffness and strength. In order to improve the efficiency of hydrogen transportation, a new frame structure of 40-foot high pressure and large capacity tube bundle container for road transportation was designed. There are two groups of tube bundles at the front and rear of the tube bundle container, carrying 18 hydrogen storage bottles. The total hydrogen storage capacity is more than 1000kg and the pressure is 52MPa. The design process is as follows: firstly, the stress analysis of the original frame structure under four inertia force conditions was carried out, and it was found that the structure was difficult to meet the strength requirements for road transportation. Then, the beam distribution of tube bundle container frame structure was preliminarily determined by using the method of topology optimization and the geometric model of the optimized frame structure was remodeled according to the topology optimization results. Finally, the static analysis of the frame structure under various driving inertia force loads was carried out by ANSYS Workbench finite element analysis software. The results show that the designed tube bundle container frame structure meets the requirements of strength. This work provides a reference for the design and safety evaluation of similar tube bundle container frame structure products.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74941611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for vibration-based fatigue, in the absence of any time history at all; it is common in industry to assess fatigue using frequency domain techniques.\u0000 The most accurate frequency domain techniques, such as the ever-popular Dirlik’s method, are optimized for a very restricted class of fatigue curve. In closed form Dirlik’s method is only applicable to the class of fatigue curves that exhibit a constant fatigue stress exponent over the number of cycles. In more general settings the validity of the Dirlik probability density is most accurate when the curve power (i.e. ‘m’ where m ≡ h−1 and ‘h’ is found in API 579 Table 14B.3 or ASME VIII Div. 2 Table 3-F.2) is ∼3.0, and is arguably only applicable between 2 to 5.\u0000 API 579 Method A provides the ‘smooth bar’ fatigue curves, which are described by a polynomial relationship in which m will often approach 20 at very large numbers of cycles. The alternative technique of API 579 Method C for assessing welds, does comply with the fatigue curve restrictions (i.e. m = 3.13 for ferritic and stainless steel and m = 3.61 for Aluminum). However, this method could arguably be augmented with an increased stress exponent at large numbers of cycles and beyond that an infinite life (e.g. BS EN 13445-3 where N = 5 × 106 is infinite life for monotonic loading and a transition to m = 5 for variable amplitude loading followed by infinite life at N = 108). While it is not the claim of this paper, this would be conceptually consistent with the minimum propagating crack size of fracture mechanics, which is the theoretical basis for the Method C approach.\u0000 This paper follows on from previous work (PVP2020-21392 [1]) and presents a detailed algorithm for constructing fatigue curve specific cycle count correlations in the spirit of the Dirlik cycle counting. As such these correlations are primarily sensitive to the spectral moments. These correlations are based on specific functions of the spectral moments, functions that have been found to produce reliably low scatter with respect to RCC. In addition to the traditional 5 spectral moments, we show that, at very large fatigue curve stress exponents, the spectral entropy can be used to enhance the accuracy of the estimated cycle count.\u0000 These parameters (5 spectral moments and spectral entropy) are very cheap to calculate in the spectral domain, making this method very computationally efficient. The algorithm also makes it possible for the user to choose the confidence interval on the scatter data. In this way, with some care, the user can naturally account for the inherent hyper-sensitivity of the high cycle part of the fatigue curve to atypically large stress events.

The fibres are primarily oriented in such a way to increase the structural efficiency of the pipes to withstand internal pressure, that namely load the pipes in the hoop direction. However, the various intricate pipe systems and connections will also subject these pipes to torsional and bending loads. In this study different fibre orientation lay-up sequences consisting of four E-Glass /polyester resin layers were fabricated using a standard four-axis filament winding machine and experimentally subjected to torsion and bending load tests. During the curing process the samples were also vacuum bagged to minimise the void content. The respective volume fractions are also identified through ignition loss tests. The load versus deformation and ultimate failure load were recorded. The onset of first ply failure was also identified through acoustic/vibration measurements and observable differences in load/deformation plots. Different failure modes were observed ranging from buckling failure to matrix failure. The primary failure mode for pipes subject to bending was either compressive or tensile failure at the upper or lower strands of the pipe as a result of the imposed bending stresses. On the other hand, buckling or shear failure was observed in the pipes subject to torsional loading. The best fibre orientation based on loading conditions was identified. In the case of bending, the load carrying capacity increased when fibres are oriented closer to the axial direction, however care is to be taken to ensure that the pipes do not buckle. In the case of torsional loading, pipes with fibres oriented at 45° were able to sustain the highest load.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81399185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study on the hydrogen explosion characteristics of a typical pipe structure (elbow structure) is carried out in the paper. The results show that in pipes with large elbow angles, the flame front can form local cavity regions as flame passes through the elbows. The influence of elbow structure on flame propagation is mainly concentrated in the middle and late stages. In the middle stage, the elbow structure creates a relatively closed space in advance, so that the speed peak-2 occurs earlier than the straight pipe. In the later stage, the acceleration effect produced by the outer wall (concave wall) plays a leading role, and the flame accelerates for the third time after passing through the elbow. There is an interactive relationship between the development of the explosion overpressure and the flame propagation in the elbow.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77694949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An appropriate approach for evaluation is the finite element method (FEM), providing efficient and sophisticated results. Methods proposed by Zheng et al. (2021) using finite element analysis (FEA) software Abaqus/Standard provide highly accurate results by simulating a displacement-controlled analysis of buried steel pipes subject to ground displacement of varying magnitudes and direction. This paper aims to further develop this pipe strain demand assessment by including variable effects of internal pressure and temperature of steel pipes buried in soils of different stiffness. The developed strain demand criterion considers inelastic material behaviour for different grades of steel pipe, as well as bi-linear soil force-displacement interaction, accounting for soil plasticity (ALA, 2001). Assuming the effects of thermal expansion are negligible prior to ground motion initiation, the pipe loads can be assessed by modelling a pipeline with initial temperature and pressure loads, followed by a ground motion in a series of steps. Several case studies were performed by modelling an X65 grade pipeline subject to ground displacements varying from 100 to 1000 mm, across a length at the midsection of the pipe. Simulations are assessed with a specified temperature increase, and internal pressure required to induce an operating hoop stress of up to 80% of the specified minimum yield strength (SMYS). By assessing the pipeline in soils of different stiffness (low, intermediate, high) at different increments of ground displacement, an accurate representation of the material stress/strain response can be acquired for each respective case. This research may provide guidance for further studies of pipelines involving internal pressure & temperature.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"6 5‐6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91417980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
