Dynamic Stress Analysis

Industrial Piping Systems

About the course

This course covers the essential principles of dynamic stress assessment in piping systems. Through presentations, demonstrations, and case discussions, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the theory, physics, and computational methods employed in modern pipe stress analysis for dynamic scenarios.

Topics include modal analysis, Dynamic Load Factor (DLF), spectrum analysis, and time history analysis, with thorough comparisons to help you determine the most suitable technique for your specific needs.

The course consists of 4 online modules featuring video content, providing you with 1-year of unlimited access to both the course materials and the discussion forum.

This flexibility enables you to revisit modules as necessary to refresh your knowledge for your projects.
