EVALUATION OF CREEP LIFE FOR MAIN STEAM INTERNALLY PRESURIZED BENT PIPE CONSIDERING INITIAL OVALITY
The bent part of main steam pipeline is easy to be failure
in order to study the creep life of bent pipe
through imbedding continuous creep demage model into ANSYS software
the influence of initial ovality and different wall-thickness ratio upon creep demage life of the pipeline has been studied.Results of finite element calculation show that the error between creep life of bent pipe in pipeline with initial ovality evaluated by using stress at skeletal point and that obtained from the result of finite element calculaton is within 3%
the analytic expression on skeletal point of bent pipe is obtained from the result of finite element calculation
thereby
a simple and easy method for evaluating the life of main steam internally pressurized bent pipe considering initial ovality can be obtained.
