Design criteria for piping components against plastic collapse Application to pipe bend experiments
Abstract
Recent years have witnessed developments in piping design criteria, initiated by the work of Rodabaugh and Moore ( 1 ), which led to significant differences between the criteria proposed by the latest design codes (2, 3, 4, 5). The requirements aimed to limit primary bending stresses in piping are expressed in the form : ( 1 ) https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="block"> B 1 P D 2 e + B 2 M z < S A
