Finite elements in the analysis of pressure vessels and piping, an addendum (1996–1998)

Abstract

The article gives a bibliographical review of the finite element methods (FEMs) applied for the analysis of pressure vessel structures/components and piping from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. This bibliography is an addendum to the Finite elements in the analysis of pressure vessels and piping-a bibliography (1976–1996) published in the Int. J. Press. Ves. Piping 1996;69:279–339. The added bibliography at the end of the article contains approx. 630 references to papers and conference proceedings on the subject that were published in 1996–1998. These are classified in the following categories: linear and non-linear, static and dynamic, stress and deflection analyses; stability problems; thermal problems; fracture mechanics problems; contact problems; fluid–structure interaction problems; manufacturing of pipes and tubes; welded pipes and pressure vessel components; development of special finite elements for pressure vessels and pipes; finite element software; and other topics.
