Summary: 

Becht Engineering's Design‐By‐Analysis course will introduce participants to the Design‐By‐ Analysis portion of the ASME code Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5. Based on the rules and guidance provided in Part 5, this course is a comprehensive introduction to the requirements of performing Design‐By‐ Analysis to the ASME Code. This course provides detailed instruction on performing finite element analysis in compliance with the Code. Example problems are presented and discussed for many of the common rules. This course is intended for engineers who are familiar with pressure vessel and piping design, and need additional guidance on applying Design‐ By‐Analysis concepts. Experience with finite element analysis is not required, but an understanding of the fundamentals would be an asset.

    • Current rules overview (limited)
    • Upcoming 2023-Edition rules changes (detailed)
  • Protection Against Failure from Cyclic Loading: Ratcheting
    • Elastic Analysis(limited)
    • Elastic-Plastic Analysis
  • Protection Against Failure from Cyclic Loading: Fatigue
    • Screening for exemption from fatigue analysis
    • Elastic Fatigue Analysis
    • Elastic-Plastic Fatigue Analysis
  • Protection Against Failure from Cyclic Loading: Fatigue of Weldments
    • Fatigue Strength Reduction Factor
    • Structural Stress Method
  • Histogram Developments and Cycle Counting for Fatigue Analysis
  • Introduction to Part 4 – Design By Rules
  • FEA / Part 5 Report Discussion

Who Should Attend:  

Individuals involved with Design-By-Analysis of pressure vessels and piping. Technical background in pressure vessel and/or piping design is required. Experience in using finite element analysis will be helpful but is not necessary.

Instructor:  


Trevor Seipp, M.Sc., P.Eng., has over 23 years of expertise in process and power equipment design, including finite element analysis and fatigue assessments. At Becht, he developed a Design-By-Analysis course and is active in ASME Codes and Standards. An ASME Fellow, he has held leadership roles and authored numerous papers. He holds an M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Minnesota and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan. He is a licensed engineer in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario.
