    Parallel Tailing Beam/Skirt Stiffening Beam Internal Moment Coefficient Kr and Kt

    Is using two cranes the only problem you have with lugs? Or is there others problems?

    Parallel Tailing Beam/Skirt Stiffening Beam Internal Moment Coefficient Kr and Kt

    So lugs are bad because they need 2 crane?

    Parallel Tailing Beam/Skirt Stiffening Beam Internal Moment Coefficient Kr and Kt

    where else would they be?

    Parallel Tailing Beam/Skirt Stiffening Beam Internal Moment Coefficient Kr and Kt

    5:42 we see clearly tailing lugs being used I'm also pretty sure the main lifting support at the top of the collumn is also a lug

    Parallel Tailing Beam/Skirt Stiffening Beam Internal Moment Coefficient Kr and Kt

    Could you elaborate? My company designed lifting lugs for its pressure vessels up to 1000 tons, we haven't had yet to pick up any heat exchanger on the floor.

    Sec. VIII Div. 2, Part 5.4 Buckling

    TGS4 i've read the paper, it wont really be helpful for LS_SMS matter. It takes for example a simple cylinder, it doesn't really explain the method for complex assemblies.

    ASME Local Membrane Stress Distance

    Doesn't the code say "may"?

    ASME Local Membrane Stress Distance

    I think you have to exclude first the weld region, as stresses there would be considered peak. Then near the weld you will consider stresses as local. I don't think having a defined distance of local membrane is useful, i think it is best to ask your friend engineering judgement here

    Local Vs global stress and fatigue analysis in fea analysis

    It's fine we're doing elastic with the help of a software and our massive engineering judgement

    Local Vs global stress and fatigue analysis in fea analysis

    I agree but for specific geometries like the nozzle/header assembly of my previous post subjected to external loads, i think it will be difficult with just an hand calc

    Buckling analysis of header/nozzle assembly

    Ok thanks

    Local Vs global stress and fatigue analysis in fea analysis

    TGS4 could you elaborate on why Pm is a hand calc only?

    Buckling analysis of header/nozzle assembly

    Hi, I'm looking for some advice on the new buckling analysis methods of ASME VIII Div 2 edition 2023. I am currently designing a tangential nozzle/header assembly that is subjected to external pressure. Method A is "intended for use on independant component", so my choice was to go for...

    'Set-in vs set-on' strikes back!

    Very insightfull TGS4, thank you for the explanation. I'm not familiar with SIF calculation as per Section VIII Div2. In my work for SIFs calculations we only use B31.3 and B31J, which appear to be simplified compared to section VIII Div 2. Stress range calculated with B31.3 is straightforward...
