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 limitsAn introduction to the creep requirements in API 579/ASME FFS-1 “Remaining Life Method”A summary of creep-fatigue analysis requirements in nuclear componentsDetailed procedure for designing cylindrical and spherical components of boilers and pressure vessels due to axial and external pressure in the creep regimeA 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.
