We perform engineering design and analysis – including stress, thermal, vibration and fatigue analysis to codes including AWS, API and ASME (B&PV, Piping and BTH) – to ensure structural integrity. A few examples include:
- Design and (thermal, stress, vibration & fatigue) analysis of pressure vessels, heat exchangers and process equipment
- Thermal transient analysis of equipment
- Optimal design of components
- Seismic and structural analysis of skids and related equipment
- Design and analysis of components to ASME Code – including Section VIII, Div. 1&2 as well as B31.1 & B31.3
- Design and analysis of components in elevated temperature environments
- Design and analysis to Code including API, AISC, & AWS
O’Donnell Consulting Engineers performed the design and analysis of elevated temperature / pressure vessels. One particular vessel had to operate under a no-leak condition. The challenge was to attach the hemispherical head to the shell without causing distortions, due to temperature differences. We thus designed a series of clamps to seal the two pieces together.
