Failure Analysis in Air Cooler Structure

This report perform deflection, stresses and slenderness ratio analysis acting to whole air cooler structure due to various loading (dead load, live load, combination load etc). The stresses resulted from the combined load, in turn, were compared with the allowable stress. The allowable stresses were determined from the stress limits specified in ASME VIII Div 2 Appendix 4 and the ACHE Specification. The final conclusion were drawn from the Structural results regarding the basic material design stresses required by ASME VIII Div. 1 Pressure Vessel Code and ASME VIII Div.








Plate stress both primary and local stress due to combined bending and membrane stress still covered by allowable design stress specified by ASME VIII Division 2-2004 + 2005 Edition Pressure Vessel code and ACHE specification
