Fatigue analysis as per B31.3 - 02/23/15 12:49 PM
Hi,
I am doing analysis of an existing line subject to slug flow. Client has requested us to do fatigue analysis using B31.3.
I am aware that B31.3 fatigue is applicable for thermal cycle. please advice how to consider this for slug cycles. we have slug frequency from which we can calculate number of cycles .
please advice if stress reduction factor can be used for slug loading (occasional load).
