This study deals with the stress analysis and the estimation of sealing performance of the pipe flange connections with an adhesive under an internal pressure and an external bending moment are analyzed by using the 3-dimensional elastic finite element method (FEM). The experiment of the leakage test of the connections with an adhesive was carried out by applying the above loads to the connections. From the FEM analysis, the following results were obtained; (1) when an internal pressure is applied to the flange connections, the compressive stress at the interface between a flange and an adhesive increases proportionally from the inner side of the interface to outside, and (2) when an internal pressure and a bending moment apply to the flange connections, the stress distribution at the half part of the interface increases as the external bending moments increase and also Young’s modulus of the adhesive increases. From the experiments, the following results were obtained: (1) sealing performance of the pipe flange connections with an adhesive under an internal pressure and an external bending moment increases as the flange thickness and an initial clamping force of bolts increases and (2) the sealing performances were not found between the connections with an adhesive and that with a gasket combining an adhesive. Furthermore, the numerical results are in fairly good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract This paper is a report of the studies on the mechanical behaviors and leakage characteristics of pipe-socket threaded joints subjected to bending moment as well as internal pressure by means of experimental tests and finite element simulations. The paper dealt with the 3/4″ and 3″ joints, and the joints for both sizes have two different combinations of thread types in the pipe and socket, i.e. taper-taper thread combination or taper-parallel one, respectively. Experimental bending leak tests showed that the taper-taper joints could retain internal pressure under bending load up to nearly plastic collapse. The taper-parallel joints, however, could hardly keep internal pressure against bending moment even the sealing tape was applied to enhance the sealing performance. Finite element analysis was carried out to simulate those bending tests, especially to clarify the deformation and the stress distribution in the engaged threads in detail. The analysis demonstrated that the sealing performance of the joints highly depend on the contact conditions not only at the thread crest to thread root but also in between flank surfaces. A complicated leak path across the engaged threads under bending moment was identified by the simulation.

Sealing Performance

In practice, PTFE tape is being used for sealing of a pipe fitting. However, the efficiency, the decrease in work time, and the sealing performance can be improved by using adhesive instead of the tape. When such a pipe fitting is under an internal pressure and external bending moment by an internal fluid and others, however, an influence in the sealing performance is taken by how to use an adhesion. This study deals with the stress analysis and the evaluation of the sealing performance of the pipe fitting with an adhesive under an internal pressure and an external bending moment analyzed by using the 3-dimensional elastic finite element method. Furthermore, the experiment of the leakage test of the pipe fitting with an adhesive was carried out when the above loads were applied to the pipe fitting. From 3-D FEM analysis, the following results were obtained: (1) the stress distribution at the interface between thread and adhesive on the side of the internal pressure is tensile stress, and stress on the opposite side is compressive, (2) the stresses at the area of the clearance between the valley of the screw and the mountain increase as the numbers of turns of the thread in fittings increase, and (3) the compressive stress at the side of the tensile part in the fittings decrease as the external bending moments increase. However, the sealing performance will not change when the bending moment is not so great because the compressive stress at the side of the compressive part in the fitting increases. From the leakage tests, the following results of the sealing performance were obtained: (1) the sealing performance of a fittings with adhesive under an internal pressure and a bending moment didn’t decrease when bending moment was not so great, and (2) when it exceeds fixed pressure, rapid leakage from the fitting with adhesive occurred by the exfoliation of the adhesive. Furthermore, the numerical results are in fairly good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract An experimental stress-strain analysis by means of the Moiré method was conducted in the area of the tread and belt regions of tire sections. A special loading fixture was designed to support the tire section and load it in a manner simulating service loading and allowing for Moiré measurements. The specimen was loaded by imposing a uniform fixed deflection on the tread surface and increasing the internal pressure in steps. Moiré fringe patterns were recorded and analyzed to obtain strain components at various locations of interest. Maximum strains in the range of 1–7% were determined for an effective inflation pressure of 690 kPa (100 psi). These results were in substantial agreement with results obtained by a finite element stress analysis.

The present study aimed to study ratcheting strains of corroded stainless steel 304LN elbow pipes subjected to internal pressure and cyclic bending moment. To this aim, spherical and cubical shapes corrosion are applied at two depths of 1 mm and 2 mm in the critical points of elbow pipe such as symmetry sites at intrados, extrados, and crown positions. Then, a Duplex 2205 stainless steel elbow pipe is considered as an alternative to studying the impact of the pipe materials, due to its high corrosion resistance and strength, toughness, and most importantly, the high fatigue strength and other mechanical properties than stainless steel 304LN. In order to perform numerical analyzes, the hardening coefficients of the materials were calculated. The results highlight a significant relationship between the destructive effects of corrosion and the depth and shape of corrosion, so that as corrosion increases, the resulting destructive effects increases as well, also, the ratcheting strains in cubic corrosions have a higher growth rate than spherical corrosions. In addition, the growth rate of the ratcheting strains in the hoop direction is much higher across the studied sample than the axial direction. The highest growth rate of hoop strain was observed at crown and the highest growth rate of axial strains occurred at intrados position. Altogether, Duplex 2205 material has a better performance than SS 304LN.
