The research has been carried out with an in-house developed software that allows to perform both probabilistic and deterministic leak before break analyses for pressurized pipes. The study is based on the UK procedure for the assessment of the integrity of structures containing defects (R6). The procedure applied is the Detectable Leak Before Break (DLBB) that relies on the Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) Option 1 assessment procedure. The calculations merge the plastic collapse assessment and the brittle failure mode of the pipe in the FAD. The first computed parameter for the LBB assessment is the Critical Crack Length (CCL) distribution density of the postulated through wall defect. The structural integrity assessment is then coupled with the Henry-Fauske two-phase critical flow model for the evaluation of the Leakage Rate (LR). With this coupling the Minimum Detectable Crack Length (MDCL) distribution density is calculated. This step sets the boundary conditions for the fracture mechanics assessment of the postulated defect. The main probabilistic outputs from the assessment are the probability of the structural failure and the probability that the defect does not leak a detectable amount of coolant. The probabilistic method used is the Latin Hypercube Sampling; the Monte Carlo method is applied for verification. These results are then compared with the deterministic output from the LBB procedure.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88922042","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 previous work on the alternative reinforcement rules for GPHE has been conducted by analytical means utilizing the basis of ASME BPVC Section VIII, Div. 1, Section UG-39, and the principles and data of a simply supported plate theory. As a part of the initial work, some assumptions had been left to be validated by Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The objective of this paper is to conduct the FEA validation of those assumptions and to further refine and expand the alternative reinforcement rules for GPHE.\u0000 The results of FEA show a good agreement with the initially developed analytical rules. The rules have further been expanded utilizing the same principles developed in the initial work and using additional data obtained by FEA. The expanded alternative reinforcement rules for GPHE, while being limited to the range of plate length to width ratio, are useful analytical means for design of GPHE end plates that may be used in lieu of more costly proof testing or FEA. In addition, the alternative reinforcement rules evaluate the reinforcement in the vicinity of nozzle openings resulting in an optimized design thickness of the GPHE end plates.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"424 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89065611","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 clamping force was continuously monitored after tightening to obtain a quantitative analysis of its loss with and without external loads. The loosening curves of the clamping force with the service time was established respectively considering the main influencing factors. Transverse cyclic loads were applied to obtain the service loosening data of the bolt clamping force. The dynamic performance characterization parameters of the structure under different clamping forces were obtained through the modal test. On the basis of established force-performance relationship, the service conditions of the connection structure were evaluated to propose a performance evolution equation that varies over time. A comprehensive understanding of the service and evolution process of bolted joint was obtained through the experiment and analysis in this work.

However, the typical approach only considers global loads and stresses in the piping system. Localized stresses must be evaluated using other methods. This can result in a PSA that produces acceptable results but fails after years of operation due to a local constraint or stress concentration.\u0000 This paper presents a case study of a failure in a FCC Overhead Line constructed of 304H stainless steel material and operates at approximately 25 psig (0.172 MPa) and 1,175 °F (635 °C). The line passes stress limits per ASME B31.3 using a PSA but failed via a crack at a conical transition to long radius elbow joint weld after approximately fifteen years of operation due to a localized stress concentration. The local transition on the line is evaluated for Creep damage using a MPC OMEGA material/damage model which is incorporated into the finite element analysis (FEA) via a user subroutine. The evaluations indicated that the large half-apex angle of the transition combined with the elbow location resulted in significant Creep damage at the joint. Subsequent destructive testing confirmed that the elbow joint developed sigma phase formations which reduced the Creep life significantly.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90243539","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}

For example, economics, planning involved, system efficiencies, and inevitable field changes are evaluated to determine the feasibility and impact of each type of connection. Multiple types of welded pipe attachments (i.e. shear lugs, trunnions, and stanchions) are considered with their corresponding advantages and disadvantages as well as methodologies of analyses. The hybrid of threaded member and welded connections have shown advantageous in certain applications. Historically and previously, stanchions have been provided for anchors but state-of-the-art designs (i.e. base clamp with trunnion) that have been around for the last couple decades are investigated for prevention of translation and rotation of the pipe in the application of supports, guides, and anchors. Also, this study is open to straight pipe as well as short and long radius elbows. Lastly, multiple accepted approaches for analyzing welded pipe attachments are explored. Making the right connection to the pipe is essential to prevent issues after plant operation and protecting the pressure boundary.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74952585","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}

Fracture mechanics models are typically used to assess the susceptibility of pipelines to fail due to the presence of cracks or crack-like anomalies. To this end, an inelastic (or elastic-plastic) fracture mechanics model, known as CorLAS™ model, has been developed and frequently used by pipeline operators. This paper first reviews the development of the CorLAS™ model and derives the probabilistic characteristics, including mean and coefficient of variation (COV) associated with the CorLAS™ model using a collection of 94 full-scale burst test data from the literature. A comprehensive reliability assessment of cracked pipes based on the CorLAS™ model is performed through the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method. For each reported scenario, the probability of failure (PoF) is calculated by MCS that considers the uncertainties associated with various parameters such as pipe geometry, material properties, and the uncertainty due to the fracture model itself, namely, the model error. Finally, a sensitivity study is conducted considering various input parameters, including pipe grade, pipe diameter, wall thickness, ratio of crack length to depth, ratio of crack depth to wall thickness, and model error COV. The results suggest that the PoFs are highly sensitive to the COV, i.e., the PoFs increase significantly with the increase of the COVs, while the effects of other input parameters on the PoFs are insignificant. It is also shown that the model error COV of CorLAS™ with a value of 13% could serve as a reference value for future model error studies.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75809082","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}

At present, high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage systems for vehicles mostly use carbon fiber reinforced composite materials as the pressure-bearing materials of hydrogen storage vessel to obtain a lighter mass, so as to ensure the hydrogen storage system has a higher hydrogen storage density. However, unlike traditional steel hydrogen storage vessel, carbon fiber composite hydrogen storage vessel has low rigidity and is prone to bending and deformation during manufacture and use, which can cause safety accidents. Most of the previous studies on mechanical properties have focused on flat laminates, which are of limited help to the study of hydrogen storage vessel. In view of this situation, this work fabricated the curved carbon fiber laminates with the same manufacturing process as the hydrogen storage vessel and investigated their flexural performance using a combination of experimental and finite element methods. The bending experiments of curved carbon fiber laminates at different angles were carried out. And the finite element model for flexural performance prediction of curved carbon fiber laminates was established through validation against the experimental results. A parametric study was further performed to analyzed the influence of carbon fiber winding angle on the flexural performance. This work will provide reference and basis for the subsequent research on the flexural performance of carbon fiber composite hydrogen storage vessel.","PeriodicalId":23700,"journal":{"name":"Volume 2: Computer Technology and Bolted Joints; Design and Analysis","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74009917","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}
