Fundamentals of Design by Analysis Approach of ASME BPVC Sec VIII Division 2 Part 5

1. How elementary and advanced topics of Solid mechanics are applied in development of Piping and Pressure vessel codes and standards.

2. Theoretical background behind design code requirements which helps an engineer understand the strengths, weaknesses and applicability of the code requirements.

3. An insight into the newly introduced codes.

4. Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and code requirements.

5. University students who want to take up career in piping engineering or static equipment engineering and wants to learn about the most widely used Industrial standard.

6. Experienced engineers who want to understand the background of code rules and requirements

1. Failure Mechanisms addressed in ASME SEC VIII D2- Gross plastic deformation, Ratchetting and Fatigue, Instability.

2. The difference between design by analysis and design by rule- Discussion of the concepts.

3. Gross plastic deformation as a failure mode- Real life examples, the concept of limit state analysis.

4. Incremental plasticity as a failure mode- Real life examples elucidating the concept of Ratchetting.

5. Alternate plasticity or low cycle fatigue as a failure mode- Discussion of the failure mechanism of fatigue.

6. Various approaches to Fatigue analysis- Stress, Strain and Fracture mechanics-based approach.

7. Polished bar versus structural stress approach- Fundamental issues and theoretical background.

8. Limit and Elastic plastic analysis- Theoretical background with some real-life examples.

9. Computer implementation of design by analysis approach- A brief overview of WRC 429.
