Fatigue Failure by In-line Flow-induced Vibration and Fatigue Life Evaluation

Fatigue Life Estimation of Piping System for Evaluation of Acoustically Induced Vibration (AIV)

One of the key design parameters to a process plant with large capacity is the risk of AIV (Acoustically Induced Vibration) on the flare piping system. AIV is a piping vibration phenomenon exhibiting high frequencies caused by large acoustic power generated by the pressure drop across a PRV (Pressure Relief Valve). The evaluation method for susceptibility of piping to AIV fatigue failure was fi...

Analyzing Random Vibration Fatigue

Determining the fatigue life of parts under periodic, sinusoidal vibration is a fairly straightforward process in which damage content is calculated by multiplying the stress amplitude of each cycle from harmonic analysis with the number of cycles that the parts experience in the field. The computation is relatively simple because the absolute value of the vibration is highly predictable at any...

Random Vibration Test for Brake Shield and Fatigue life Estimation

Structures and mechanical components are frequently subjected to the oscillating loads which are random in nature. Random vibration theory has been introduced for more than three decades to deal with all kinds of random vibration behavior. Since fatigue is one of the primary causes of component failure, fatigue life prediction has become a most important issue in almost any random vibration pro...

Fatigue Failure and Damage Analysis of an Anti-roll Bar Subjected to Fatigue Experiments

The available fatigue theories have been examined using simple specimens subjected to bending or tension-compression loads. Therefore, the stress fields have been generally one or two dimensional. Anti-roll bar is a component belongs to the suspension system of the vehicles. In spite of having simple circular section, due to the having several curvatures, this component experiences a three-dime...
