Hello Fellow Stressers,
There is a formula for one component of axial stress in ISO 14692 2017. It is given as (Do/2C)/E.
where:
Do = Pipe OD
C = Curve Radius
E = Elastic Modulus
I have two questions:
1) Shall the formula be written as Do/2C/E since Do/2C will be unitless and E will be in Mpa?
2) Is this a compressive axial stress for a curved pipe? How the formula was derived?
Your response is highly appreciated. Please correct any wrong statement I've made.
Thanks & Warm Regards,
