Abstract

Equipment nozzles are important connection points where the piping has a direct impact on operationalintegrity and service life. The given work reviews constraints of traditional stress analysis tools andproposes advanced flexibility representation tools that allow realistic prediction of loads. Newer finite element methods with proper characterization
