Torsion Effect on Tubular Joint design
Torsion Effect on Tubular Joint design
(OP)
Hi All,
I have to design a tubular connection that connects a tubular stub with a Jacket Leg (tubular with thickened part). The tubular stub exerts torsion on the jacket leg (in addition to the axial, and bending moments). As far as I know, according to AP-RP2A-WSD, tubular joint capacity considers axial and bending actions only (no torsional actions are involved).
Is there any suggestion regarding how to consider this torsional moment in the tubular joint connection? (from API or other codes or text books)
Thanks in advance

For component with complex stress state, we may calculate the max. normal stess and shear stress and thus combine them to von Mises stress. The von mises streas can then compared with allowable stress.
