Many structures operate at elevated temperatures where creep and rupture are a design consideration, such as refinery and chemical plant equipment, components in power-generation units, and engine parts. This book presents an introduction to the general principles of design at elevated temperatures.

Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in the Creep Range Second Edition The latest edition of the leading resource on elevated temperature design In the newly revised Second Edition of Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in the Creep Range, a team of distinguished engineers delivers an authoritative introduction to the principles of design at elevated temperatures. The authors draw on over 50 years of experience, explaining the methodology for accomplishing a safe and economical design for boiler and pressure vessel components operating at high temperatures. The text includes extensive references, offering the reader the opportunity to further their understanding of the subject. In this latest edition, each chapter has been updated and two brand-new chapters added—the first is Creep Analysis Using the Remaining Life Method, and the second is Requirements for Nuclear Components. Numerous examples are included to illustrate the practical application of the presented design and analysis methods. It also offers: A thorough introduction to creep-fatigue analysis of pressure vessel components using the concept of load-controlled and strain-deformation controlled limits An introduction to the creep requirements in API 579/ASME FFS-1 “Remaining Life Method” A summary of creep-fatigue analysis requirements in nuclear components Detailed procedure for designing cylindrical and spherical components of boilers and pressure vessels due to axial and external pressure in the creep regime A section on using finite element analysis to approximate fatigue in structural members in tension and bending Perfect for mechanical engineers and researchers working in mechanical engineering, Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in the Creep Range will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate students studying mechanical engineering, technical staff in industry, and industry analysts and researchers.

With very few books adequately addressing ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, and other international code issues, Pressure Vessels: Design and Practice provides a comprehensive, in-depth guide on everything engineers need to know. With emphasis on the requirements of the ASME this consummate work examines the design of pressure vessel com

The Stress Analysis of Pressure Vessels and Pressure Vessel Components, Volume 3 deals with the basic principles and concepts underlying stress analysis of pressure vessels and related components used in the nuclear energy industry. Among the components subjected to stress analysis are pressure vessel branches, pressure vessel ends, local attachments, and flanges. Smooth and mitered pipe bends, externally pressurized vessels, and creep effects in structures are also analyzed. This book is comprised of 11 chapters that explore the main problems of structural analysis related to the design of me.
