I have 'subject 3810' from the kellogg design manual- pipe attachments.
It must have been written by a nerd, because therin lies a secret code as to how to understand it.
A valuble tool (i am not given FEA) for me, except
i never felt fully comfortable that i understood how to use it.
But, after reading page 85 of the 'Design of piping systems' book all is clear!
This must have been a wonderful book in its day,
I wonder if a PED version is due out soon... :p
