Distortions From a Simplified Approach to Fatigue Analysis in PVC Pipes
Abstract
This work examines the extent to which simplifications suggested for fatigue analysis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes can cause distortion in system evaluation. To this end, fatigue analysis is performed on a hypothetical pipe system using two independent approaches: first, using a recommended method that calculates the fatigue parameters through thorough transient modeling and, second, through a highly simplified but widely used approach …
