I am doing an FEA on a flange using solid elements for the flange and beam elements for the bolts. When classifying the stresses using Div. 2 criteria, what allowable stress should I use for the beam elements? Thanks. ESCE, Inc. http://esce.freeservers.com

stefa363, Check out this article written by Edward Pope on classification of stresses. It should help...

The vessel code of construction is unknown. The vessel was built in 1964 for use as a test head. The client wants to know what is the mawp if designed per ASME Div. 1. I need the yield and tensile stress values and also the allowable stress of a similar Code material if this material is not...

I am working on a vessel with a body flange material of ASTM A-27 GR 70. Can anyone give me the yield and tensile stress values and also the allowable stress at 70 deg. F? Thanks in advance. esce ESCE, Inc. http://esce.freeservers.com

I just designed a vessel for seismic using the IBC 2006 requirements. The customer wants the CBC 2007 used. Does anyone know what the difference in the IBC vs CBC codes are if any? Thanks in advance. ESCE, Inc. http://esce.freeservers.com

Does anyone know where I can get B31.3 software for calculating wall thickness, nozzle reinforcement etc.? Thanks in advance. ESCE, Inc. http://esce.freeservers.com

I am designing two vessels for seismic per the International Building Code. One will be installed in Peru and the other in Morocco. I need the mapped spectral accelerations (Ss & S1) for these areas. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance. ESCE ESCE, Inc. http://esce.freeservers.com

Anyone familiar with the seismic section of the Kentucky Building Code (2002 or 2003)? I am doing a seismic analysis of a vessel and need the formula for the seismic design force (Fp). Is it the same as the International Building Code 2000? Thank you in advance. ESCE, Inc...

I am desigining a vessel for seismic being installed in Thailand per the International Building Code. Does anyone know what seismic zone I must use and where I could find this info.? Thanks. ESCE, Inc. http://esce.freeservers.com

I have been looking for the same thing. I need a good example to follow. Have you had any success as yet? I did find this. I have been thinking about buying it: ****************************************** Description Order #: H00967 ISBN #: 0791813355 Published: 1995 Product Type...
