THERE IS ANY WAY TO CALCULATE THE BENDING STIFF OR THE TORSION STIFF (IN.LB/DEG) OF A RUBBER EXPANSION JOINT???, IN CATALOGS ONLY SHOWS ALLOWABLE MOVEMENTS (IN or DEG), GENERAL SPRING RATE (LB/IN), AXIAL SPRING RATE (LB/IN) AND ROTATIONAL SPRING RATE (LB/DEG), THANKS REGARD.
Ok, thank you BigInch, Increasing the wall thickness to the Branch connection no makes any difference, when CAESAR calcules the SIF only takes the Header wall thickness for the calculation, taking on count that the Header is a 36" diameter Pipe, increasing its wall thickness makes expensive the...
I am new with the FEA for piping designs (CAESAR), and I'm working in a branch connection for a High Pressure Relief, that runs over a Header = 36" diameter, 0.5" Thk, API 5L Gr.B, and takes the branch reduction with a weldolet = 8" diameter, 0.25" Thk, API 5L Gr.B.
The ressults in all...
