Why take this course?

This self-paced course covers ratcheting failure assessments in pressure vessel design per ASME BPVC VIII-2 Part 5. It explains the three compliance approaches: elastic, elastic/plastic, and detailed elastic/plastic analyses. The course includes video lectures, quizzes, and exercises to reinforce learning, and offers a certificate with PDH credits. Related courses cover other ASME VIII-2 failure modes.

About the course

Ratcheting failure, or progressive deformation under cyclic loading, is a significant concern in pressure vessel design. This training course explains the ASME BPVC VIII-2 Part 5 compliance checks for ensure that a design is safe from the perspective of ratcheting. Here participants are taken through the three possible approaches in ASME VIII-2 Part 5, namely elastic, elastic/plastic and the detailed elastic/plastic.

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.
