Limit analysis of pressurized branch-pipe connections
Abstract
In this paper an iterative algorithm is proposed for determination of the limit load-carrying capacity of pressurized branch- pipe connections. The iteration algorithm is based on the kinematic theorem of limit analysis theory. Some numerical results are presented, and the collapse modes are found different from those anticipated by some previous researchers.
