load cases for special problem - 11/25/05 01:43 AM
Dear stress community
How can I solve following problem:
A pipeline (6”) near a control valve suddenly began to swing in an
area of 14,6 m without any restraint. As an easy solution the operator
wants to build in a support at operating temperature because the pipeline cannot be shut down. Unfortunately the pipeline has at the restraint point thermal displacements
(dx=20mm, dy=2mm,dz=38mm).
When the piping system cooles down , there will be some stresses and forces in the system.
A better solution would be to install the restraint or a viscoelastic damper in the cold system.
But this is at this time not possible and not the question.
Is it possible at all to model the described scenario of changing the boundary conditions at operating calculation run with caesar II loadcases and how are the stresses to evaluate?
