An illustrative guide to the analysis needed to achieve a safe
design in ASME Pressure Vessels, Boilers, and Nuclear Components
Stress in ASME Pressure Vessels, Boilers, and Nuclear Components
offers a revised and updatededition of the text, Design of Plate and
Shell Structures. This important resource offers engineers and students
a text that covers the complexities involved in stress loads and design
of plates and shell components in compliance with pressure vessel,
boiler, and nuclear standards. The author covers the basic theories and
includes a wealth of illustrative examples for the design of components
that address the internal and external loads as well as other loads such
as wind and dead loads.
The text keeps the various derivations relatively simple and the
resulting equations are revised to a level so that they can be applied
directly to real-world design problems. The many examples clearly show
the level of analysis needed to achieve a safe design based on a given
required degree of accuracy. Written to be both authoritative and
accessible, this important updated book:
- Offers an increased focus on mechanical engineering and contains more
specific and practical code-related guidelines
- Includes problems and solutions for course and professional training
use
- Examines the basic aspects of relevant theories and gives examples for
the design of components
- Contains various derivations that are kept relatively simple so that
they can be applied directly to design problems
Written for professional mechanical engineers and students, this text
offers a resource to the theories and applications that are needed to
achieve an understanding of stress loads and design of plates and shell
components in compliance with pressure vessel, boiler, and nuclear
standards.
