Evaluating Plastic Collapse and performing Stress Linearization conform ASME BPVC VIII-2

Plastic collapse is a critical failure mode that must be checked for compliance during pressure vessel design conform ASME BPVC VIII-2 Part 5. This course focuses on the three primary methods outlined in ASME VIII-2 namely; elastic analysis, limit load analysis, and elastic-plastic analysis.

The stress linearization technique is also explained to show how to convert the stresses from FEA into those need for the ASME VIII-2 compliance checks.This course includes video lectures together with quizzes and exercises to reinforce your learning.

For the other compliance checks in ASME VIII-2 Part 5 please review our learning path on the ASME VIII-2 Part 5 or the individual courses per failure mode which can be found under Related Courses.
