Cyclic Fatigue Stress Analysis
Cyclic Fatigue Stress Analysis
(OP)
Dear All,
For a liquid process system (highly subcooled such as water), is there any general guideline when the system is identified to require cyclic fatigue stress analysis. I am aware that ASME B31.3 and ASME SEC VIII Div.2 part 5 both discuss the relation of number of cycles against the allowable stress at each cycle. However, what is the criteria to be considered to assess that the system requires such analysis or not?
Thanks

Is there any specific conditions in your system in question?
RE: Cyclic Fatigue Stress Analysis
For Normal Fluid Service, refer to 302.3.5. Note it’s for displacement stress range, which doesn’t cover cycling stresses due to sustained loads.
Para 302.3.5 refers to appendix W which may provide further guidance.

RE: Cyclic Fatigue Stress Analysis
I am interested to know if there is any specific criteria for identifying the system of a cyclic process, can we consider a liquid pumping system prone to cyclic conditions due to possible infrequent overpressure by surge. can a cycle be categorized over a time duration or a frequency so we can assess the system being of a cyclic process nature.
thanks
