About the course

The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel section VIII code is the most frequently used pressure vessel design code in the world. Two design approaches are present in the code: design by rules and design by analysis. Design by Analysis in ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5 describes the approach to be taken when using FEA in the design of a pressure vessel.

Are you doing FEA on a pressure vessel, then to conform to ASME VIII-2 you need to use ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5. This learning path formed of 5 training courses explains how to conduct an FEA study (referred to as Design by Analysis) conform ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5. The ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5 compliance checks in plastic collapse, local failure, buckling, ratcheting and fatigue load cases are all detailed. Topics covered include the difference between primary or secondary stresses, the influence of weld type on fatigue life, linearization and how to obtaining the structural stresses from your FEA model.

The Course consists of 5 online, self-study Modules, all of which are formed of video lectures, with regular quizzes and exercises to reinforce your learning.
