Hello,

I need to calculate the SIFs for a miter bend with a D/t>100 ratio. My question is:

On a FEM analisys, do i need to consider the effects of pression and temperature to calculate the SIFs?, can i do the analisys only with the in plane moments, out of plane moments and geometrical data?

Thanks and Regards
