It is necessary to obtain an accurate welding residual stress distribution for the evaluation of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior. However, a welding residual stress simulation for pipes is often performed by a two dimensional axisymmetric model because this type of simulation requires significant time to analyze the complicated inelastic behavior. This approximation deteriorates the modeling accuracy since the welding heat input and the structural response are approximated by axisymmetric responses although they are originally three dimensional. The authors propose “a virtual additional stiffness method” in order to improve the accuracy of the axisymmetric model. With this method, the difference between the axisymmetric model and a three dimensional behavior was greatly reduced. The virtual additional stiffness method was used to reproduce three dimensional constraints that were not taken into account in the axisymmetric model. In the case of the axisymmetric model, an unrealistic large thermal expansion was observed because of simultaneous heating along a hoop direction of the whole pipe. In order to compensate this unrealistic deformation, a virtual additional stiffness was added in axial and radial directions on the axisymmetric model. This stiffness was added by using spring elements whose positions and spring constants were determined by comparing the two and three dimensional models. Results obtained by this new method in the multi-pass butt-welded stainless steel pipe were in very good agreement with measurements of the mock-up specimens.

The ICEPEL Code for coupled hydrodynamic-structural response analysis of piping systems is used to analyze an experiment on the response of flexible piping systems to internal pressure pulses. The piping system consisted of two flexible Nickel-200 pipes connected in series through a 90-deg thick-walled stainless steel elbow. A tailored pressure pulse generated by a calibrated pulse gun is stabilized in a long thick-walled stainless steel pipe leading to the flexible piping system which ended with a heavy blind flange. The analytical results of pressure and circumferential strain histories are discussed and compared against the experimental data obtained by SRI International.

In fire scenarios, concrete-filled stainless steel tubular (CFSST) columns undergo initial loading at ambient temperature, loading during the heating phase as the fire develops, loading during the cooling phase as the fire dies out and continual loading after the fire. CFSST columns may fail some points during this process under combined fire and loading. In this paper, the failure modes and corresponding working mechanism of CFSST columns subjected to an entire loading and fire history are investigated. Sequentially coupled thermal-stress analyses in ABAQUS are employed to establish the temperature field and structural response of the CFSST column. To improve the precision of the finite element (FE) model, the influence of moisture on the thermal conductivity and specific heat of concrete during both the heating and cooling phases is considered using subroutines. Existing fire and post-fire test data of CFSST columns are used to validate the FE models. Comparisons between predicted and test results confirm that the accuracy of the FE models is acceptable; the FE models are then extended to simulate a typical CFSST column subjected to the entire loading and fire history. The behaviour of the CFSST column is explained by analysis of the temperature distribution, load versus axial deformation curves and failure response.
