Structural Analysis and Design of Process Equipment

Structural Analysis and Design of Process Equipment, 3rd Edition, provides engineering guidance for the structural analysis and mechanical design of process hardware. The reference delivers comprehensive coverage for both American Petroleum Institute (API) equipment and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) pressure vessels.

The volume covers storage tanks, pressure vessels, boilers, and heat exchangers, addressing both internal and external components. It details the background assumptions and derivations underlying many governing equations in the relevant standards.

Designed for structural, mechanical, and chemical engineers, the work also incorporates numerical vibration analysis for earthquake evaluation and links ASME requirements to international engineering standards.
