Abstract:It is the aim of this paper to survey recent developments in the methods of inelastic piping system analysis. Particular attention is paid to simplified methods which avoid costly finite element analysis. Included is a survey of available computer codes, benchmarks and comparative studies together with a discussion of simple screening rules based on elastic analyses alone.
