Finite Element Analysis for Nozzle With External Loads
Hak-Sung Lee, Chang-Hoon Ha, Tae-Jung Park
In this study, the nozzles in cylindrical vessel shells are developed
as three dimensional finite element models, which are loaded with
unit forces and moments. The stress intensities from finite element
models are investigated through a comparison of WRC Bulletin
297. In addition, a methodology to apply the stress intensity results
from WRC 297 to different lines is proposed.

RESULTS OF FEA ANALYSES AT NOZZLE/SHELL JUNCTIONS
SUBJECTED TO EXTERNAL LOADS
This paper presents the results of several nozzle and shell
dimensional configuration analyses utilizing finite element (FE).
The authors utilized typical shell and nozzle dimensions with
typically allowed external nozzle loading . These FE results are
compared to WRC 107 results to determine if the FE results may
be used to establish the critical variables necessary to construct a
standard allowable piping load basis.

Elastic stress concentration at radial crossholes in
pressurized thick cylinders
T Comlekci*, D Mackenzie, R Hamilton, and J Wood
Results of a parametric finite element analysis investigation of
stress concentration at radial crossholes in pressurized cylinders
are presented in numerical and graphical form. The analysis
shows that the location of maximum stress does not generally
occur at the junction between the bores, as is commonly
supposed, but at some small distance up the crosshole from the
junction.

Design and analysis of Stress on Thick Walled Cylinder with
and with out Holes
G.Raju, K. Hari Babu, N.Siva nagaraju, K.Kiran Chand
Stresses that remain in material even after removing applied loads
are known as residual stresses. These stresses occur only when
material begins to yield plastically. Residual stresses can be
present in any mechanical structure because of many causes.
Residual stresses may be due to the technological process used
to make the component. Manufacturing processes lead to plastic
deformation. Elasto-plastic analysis with bilinear kinematic
hardening material is performed to know the effect of hole sizes. It
is observed that there are several factors which influence stress
intensity factors. The Finite element analysis is conducted using
commercial solvers.

Finite Element Analysis of Skirt to Dished junction in a
Pressure Vessel

Skirt to dished end junction in vertical pressure vessel is one of such

critical junction which is often subjected to different loads. These
loadings include internal pressure inside vessel, wind & seismic shear
force and moments, operating weight of vessel& thermal stresses in the
welds near the junction. This paper re-presents guidelines in structural
analysis for skirt to dished end junction. Analysis is carried out in
compliance with ASME Section VII Division 2.

WRC 429 - 3D Stress Criteria Guidelines for Application

This work is an outgrowth of previous PVRC work, which defines

the problems and issues involved in assessing stress results from
three-dimensional (3-D) finite element analyses (FEA) in terms of
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code stress limits in the
design by analysis Section III (Class 1, NB) and Section VIII,
Division 2. The current project addresses four areas of
consideration: (1) the relation between failure mechanisms and
the ASME Code stress categories, (2) the appropriate stresses for
each category, (3) the appropriate locations for assessing each
stress category, and (4) the appropriate stresses for obtaining the
membrane plus bending stresses. Although the relationships are
interrelated, they are developed individually and then
synthesized. To enhance understanding of the four areas of
consideration, 11 geometries are defined and evaluated through
discussion and finite element results. Each of the four areas of
consideration is discussed in detail and two-dimensional (2-D)
axisymmetric and 3-D example geometries are presented.

Parameterized model for stress analysis of nozzles

The design of pressure vessels is often strictly regulated by codes
in order to ensure that the products are safe and functional. Two
commonly used codes for pressure vessels operating in the
process industry are the American ASME VIII Division 2 and its
European counterpart EN 13445-3. For common product
configuration, such as when a nozzle intersects a larger cylindrical
shell, specialized software based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
are available. Yet, problems occur when the designer wants to use
product configurations that are not covered by these software.
Therefore, there is a need for a calculation tool that covers such
product configurations.

Guidebook for the Design of ASME Section VIII Pressure

Vessels, Fourth Edition, Chapter 8
Section VIII-2 requires stress analysis of vessel components when
explicit design formulas are not given. This includes flued-in heads,
head-to-shell junctions, expansion joints, thermal stresses, and
stresses in components due to loads other than pressure. In
performing the stress evaluation, the designer must determine the
maximum stress at a given point or location. When computer
programs such as ANSYS and NASTRAN are used to determine
the stress, the output usually consists of the total combined stress
at a given point. This stress must then be separated into its
components of membrane, bending, and peak stresses.

MATERIAL SELECTION FOR A PRESSURE VESSEL

Pressure vessels are designed to contain pressure and withstand

the operating mechanical and thermal transients for a specified
design life. In addition they are designed to safety to leak before
break (LBB). LBB describes the situation in which a leak occurs
before a complete double-ended break of a component. Ductile and
tough materials are widely used in nuclear pressure vessels,
because of their high resistance to catastrophic rupture. The design
process involves fatigue analysis to demonstrate that there is
insignificant crack growth a postulated surface crack during the
entire design life. However in terms of LBB the significant parameter
is the elastic-plastic fracture toughness, and the material strength.
