What is Stress?Stress is the internal resistance per unit area to the
deformation caused by the applied load.
Strain:Strain is the unit deformation under applied load.
Stress-Strain Relationship:
Stress is directly proportional to strain- Hooks Law

Purpose of piping Stress Analysis:
To comply with legislation.
To check the stresses are within allowable limits.
To check the force and Moment on the equipment nozzles are withinallowable limits.

How Piping and Components Fails?
Failure by general yielding:Failure is due to excessive plastic deformation.
Yielding at Sub-Elevated Temperature:Body undergoes plastic deformation under slip action
of grains.Yielding at Elevated Temperature:
After slippage, Material recrystalizes and hence
yielding continues without increasing load. This phenomenon is called asCreep.
Failure by Fracture:Body fails without undergoing Yielding.
Brittle Fracture:This type of fracture is occurred in brittle materials.
Fatigue:Due to cyclic loading ,Small crack is developed which grows after
each cycle and result in sudden failure.

Theories of Failure
Maximum Principal Stress TheoryThis theory states that yielding occurs when the magnitude of
any of the three mutual perpendicular Principal Stresses exceeds the yieldpoint of the material.
Maximum shear stress TheoryThis theory states that yielding occurs when the maximum
shear stress exceeds the shear stress at the yield point in a tensile test.
Stress categories
Primary StressesThese are developed by imposed loading and are
necessary to satisfy the equilibrium between the external and internal forceand moment of the piping system.

Secondary stressesThese are developed by the constraint of the
displacement of structure.These displacements can be caused either by
thermal displacement or by outwardly imposed restraint and anchor pointmovements.
Peak StressesUnlike loading condition of secondary stress which cause
distortion, Peak stress cause no significant distortion. Peak stresses arethe highest stress in the region under consideration and are responsiblefor causing fatigue failure.

LoadsVarious loads on the piping can be grouped into the followingthree categories
Primary loads (sustained loads)
Secondary loads (expansion loads)
Occasional loads (wind, earthquake, etc.)
Load Combinations Considered Primary loads
Secondary loads
Primary + occasional loads

Allowable stress range for expansion stresses:SA = f (1.25 Sc + 0.25 Sh)
Sc = Cold allowable stress.
Sh = Hot allowable stress.
f = Stress range reduction factor for cyclic condition.

Parameters to be considered for flexibility analysis:-
1. The appropriate code that applies to the system.
2. The design pressure and temperature.
3. The type of material.
4. The pipe size and wall thickness of each pipe component.
5. The piping geometry including movements of anchors and restraints.
6. The allowable stresses for the design conditions set by appropriate
code.
7. Limitations of forces and moments on equipment nozzles set by API,
NEMA or the equipment manufacturers.

Types of Supports:RestraintsGuide
AnchorLimit stopsHangers
Restraints:Restraints are provided in the piping primarily to transfer
the occasional loads to the supporting structure. Inclined restraints arealso used. Usually the restraints are double acting. Struts and ties,which are single acting, are also used. A single acting restraint is adevice, which carries only tension or compression.

Limit Stops:Limit stops are used to limit the stresses in the piping and to
reduce the anchor reaction. The behavior of the limit stops is non-linear.
The limit stop has zero rigidity up to certain movement. After thispredetermined movement, the limit stop comes into action. The activerigidity of the limit stop can be finite or infinite. This depends on theconstruction of the limit stop.
Anchors:Anchors is used to arrest all movements. It is a rigid support.
Guide:It will arrest the lateral movement of the piping.

Hangers:Variable Load Hanger VLH):Variable load hanger is a special type of hanger, which accommodate thevertical thermal movements, while carrying the vertical load. Usually
variable load hangers are made of helical springs. The load varies fromcold condition to hot condition.
Constant Load Hanger CLH):Constant load hanger is a special type of hanger, similar to the variableload hanger. There are several types of constant load hangers. The load
variation in the constant load hanger from cold to hot is usually limited to0%.
Semi-Constant Load Hanger SCLH):Semi-constant load hangers are similar to the constant load hangers. Theload variation permitted in the semi-constant load hanger is usually 10%.
