** High Priority **
Applying finite element analysis to pressure vessel problems and subsequent
assessment of the results to PV codes is complex and often troublesome.
Following a two year EU funded work programme, a design by analysis manual
has been produced and the seminar aims to provide the background to the subject
and thereafter deals with several case studies.
Topics such as elastic analysis, limit analysis, shakedown, elastic compensation,
elastic plastic analysis and stress categorisation are addressed, together with results
obtained from a variety of FE packages with the work being undertaken by 7
research sites across Europe.
Delegates will be provided with useful notes on the day, together with a CD of the Design by Analysis Manual
published by the EU-JRC
