Fatigue Life Estimation of Piping System for Evaluation of Acoustically Induced Vibration (AIV)

One of the key design parameters to a process plant with large capacity is the risk of AIV (Acoustically Induced Vibration) on the flare piping system. AIV is a piping vibration phenomenon exhibiting high frequencies caused by large acoustic power generated by the pressure drop across a PRV (Pressure Relief Valve). The evaluation method for susceptibility of piping to AIV fatigue failure was fi...

The Fatigue Strength of Fillet Welded Connections

This report describes a study of the fatigue behavior of fillet welded joints stressed perpendicular to the weld line. The study included an experimental phase in which the stiess-life and cracking behavior of load and nonload carrying fillet weld joints was determined. This experimental study concentrated on the fatigue behavior in the transition region between high and low cycle fatigue 3 5 (...

Evaluation of Thermal Barrier Coating in Low Cycle Fatigue Life for Exhaust Manifold

This paper presents low cycle fatigue (LCF) life prediction of a coated and uncoated exhaust manifolds. First Solidworks software was used to model the exhaust manifolds. A thermal barrier coating system was applied on the tubes c of the exhaust manifolds, consists of two-layer systems: a ceramic top coat (TC), made of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), ZrO2-8%Y2O3 and also a metallic bond coat ...
