Occurrence of cracks in pressure equipment
The failure mechanism due to brittle fracture in pressure equipment manifests itself as a rapid and unexpected fracture since it occurs without prior plastic deformation. In order to reduce the risk of brittle breakage, the correct evaluation and inspection of this equipment are essential to detect possible cracks that trigger these failure processes. The usual […]
The role of digital twins in decision making in industrial plants
We are currently immersed in one of the greatest challenges, and at the same time longing, of the industrial sector: having the largest and best amount of information possible in relation to its assets, processes and products. Taking the foregoing as a premise, it is therefore essential to obtain, control and analyze fast and reliable […]
Ductility in anchor plates
Nowadays, it is possible to carry out the design of anchor plates in a very efficient, precise, and safe way with tools as powerful as finite element calculation. In the case of industrial structures located in areas where the seismic load plays a determining role, the use of anchor saddles is highly recommended from the […]
Design and FEM analysis of equipment and conductors made of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)
There are many sectors (chemical and process industry, naval, aeronautical or food sector) and industrial applications in which it is necessary to design and validate equipment made with special materials (FRP- Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic), due to to the special corrosion resistance requirements for which they have to provide service. This is the case of pressure […]
