Abstract

<p>This study presents parametric analysis for fatigue assessment and dynamic responses of three-dimensional wallthinned piping systems subjected to seismic loadings. Validated finite element models were constructed based on the wallthinned piping system reported in the previous paper. Fatigue lives for in-plane and out-of-plane bending modes are assessed with the effect of ratchet deformations. The obtained results are summarized as follows:(i) Stiffness of piping and number of strain cycles decrease with the increase in the fraction of wall thinning, (ii) Internal pressure affects the increase in ratchet strain and the fatigue lives decrease, (iii) The fatigue life of local wall thinning is not always safe compared with full circumferential thinning.</p>
