Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in
the Creep Range
Second Edition
The latest edition of the leading resource on elevated temperature
design
In the newly revised Second Edition of Analysis of ASME Boiler,
Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear Components in the Creep Range, a team of
distinguished engineers delivers an authoritative introduction to the
principles of design at elevated temperatures. The authors draw on over
50 years of experience, explaining the methodology for accomplishing a
safe and economical design for boiler and pressure vessel components
operating at high temperatures. The text includes extensive references,
offering the reader the opportunity to further their understanding of
the subject.
In this latest edition, each chapter has been updated and two brand-new
chapters added--the first is Creep Analysis Using the Remaining Life
Method, and the second is Requirements for Nuclear Components. Numerous
examples are included to illustrate the practical application of the
presented design and analysis methods. It also offers:
- A thorough introduction to creep-fatigue analysis of pressure vessel
components using the concept of load-controlled and strain-deformation
controlled limits
- An introduction to the creep requirements in API 579/ASME FFS-1
"Remaining Life Method"
- A summary of creep-fatigue analysis requirements in nuclear components
- Detailed procedure for designing cylindrical and spherical components
of boilers and pressure vessels due to axial and external pressure in
the creep regime
- A section on using finite element analysis to approximate fatigue in
structural members in tension and bending
Perfect for mechanical engineers and researchers working in mechanical
engineering, Analysis of ASME Boiler, Pressure Vessel, and Nuclear
Components in the Creep Range will also earn a place in the libraries
of graduate students studying mechanical engineering, technical staff in
industry, and industry analysts and researchers.
