Abstract

Numerical results of torsional spring constants at the juncture of piping-nozzle are studied in this thesis by using the "ANSYS" program and run on VAX computer. These results are presented in tabulated form for a piping-nozzle vessel with constant thickness of 0.375 in. Plot for the torsional spring constants in terms of beta (nozzle radius/pipe radius), gamma (pipe radius/thickness) and alpha (pipe length/radius) are also presented in this thesis. These data are under zero piping internal pressure with beta ranging from 0.1 to 0.8, and gamma ranging from 10 to 150. A numerical example with verification is also given.
