We use finite element software specifically written to analyse pressure equipment. Finite element analysis allows for accurate analysis of geometries not covered by traditional methods of analysis.
The services we offer include both static and fatigue analysis of:
| Local stresses due to external nozzle loads |
|
|
| Flange stresses due to pressure, external loads and thermal effects |
|
|
| Stresses due to differential thermal expansion - including jacketed vessels |
|
|
| Buckling of supports and vessels under vacuum conditions |
|
|
| Local stresses due to vessel supports |
|
|
| Dynamic response and determination of natural frequencies |
|
|
| Non-linear (plastic) deformation |
