Welcome Back!
The ability to interact with ASME instructors who bring real world experience, examples, and best practices to life in our learning experiences is a major reason learners choose face to face training. Networking with peers is also a valuable part of the time spent together during a course. We are excited to start offering these important courses again in person.
Schedule: This course commences at 8:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM local time, each day, with breaks scheduled throughout.
May Venue: This course will be held at the The Grand America Hotel in conjunction with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Week. Please follow this link for hotel reservations.
The focus of this course is to provide an understanding of the analytical methods found in Part 5 of Section VIII, Division 2 as well as to convey practical information on how to meet the requirements using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Discussion on the background of the analysis methods and their application is presented through the ASME Pressure Technology Bulletins, PTB-1-2013 Section VIII - Division 2 Criteria and Commentary and PTB-3-2013 Section VIII - Division 2 Example Problem Manual. The attendees gain an appreciation and understanding of how these analytical techniques can be applied to practical design situations. The class includes detailed example problems that demonstrate how the analytical techniques are to be applied, and their limitations. Detailed FEA models are presented to help illustrate the various analytical techniques.
This course provides an in-depth examination of the techniques used in Design by Analysis (DBA) of pressure vessel design. The course includes discussions on general requirements for numerical simulation using FEA; material modeling requirements for use with FEA; design load combinations for pressure vessel design; design for protection against plastic collapse using elastic stress analysis, limit load, and elastic-plastic stress analysis; background and requirements for the new strain limit criterion; buckling analysis types and differences in design margins; fatigue analysis using smooth bar and welded joint technology in the new structural stress approach; ratcheting assessment using both elastic and elastic-plastic analysis; and a special emphasis on the evaluation of thermal stresses.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Define the basis and application of the design by analysis techniques to ensure proper vessel design.
- Apply the design by analysis techniques to the evaluation of in–service components through the Life-Cycle Management Process and the relationship to API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Level 3 Assessments.
- Evaluate the basis of design by analysis techniques and how they compare with other International Pressure Vessel Codes, EN 13445 and PD 5500.
Course Requirements
Participants must bring a laptop to class.
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for pressure vessels engineers working for Owner-Users, manufacturers or engineering and design construction firms in the refining, petrochemical, and other comparable industries that desire a practical understanding of one of the major areas of the new Division 2 of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII.
This course is structured on the assumption that participants have a basic understanding of ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 2 and FEA.
