The 3-D beam element behaviors are dominated by bending moments. As mentioned above, it
is efficient for most analyses and sufficient for system analysis. However, there are downsides
to using a 3-D beam element:
There are three types of primary piping stresses that can cause failure in a piping system: hoop
stress, axial stress & bending stress
Hoop stress is the result of pressure being applied to the pipe either internally or externally.
Because pressure is uniformly applied to the piping system, hoop stress also is considered to
be uniform over a given length of pipe. Note that hoop stress will change with diameter and
wall thickness throughout the piping system. Hoop stress is most commonly represented by the
following formula:
Axial stress results from the restrained axial growth of the pipe. Axial growth is caused by
thermal expansion, pressure expansion, and applied forces. If a pipe run can grow freely in one
direction, there is no axial present at least in theory. When comparing axial growth caused by
pressure, steel-pipe growth is minimal at over 100 ft and can be ignored. Composite piping
such as fiber re-enforced pipe (FRP) or plastic pipe will exhibit noticeable growth, as much as
2 to 3 in. over 100 ft under the right conditions (200 to 300 psi). The primary reason for the
difference in growth rates under pressure is related to the modulus of elasticity. Steel has a
modulus of elasticity of approximately 30 x 106 psi, whereas composites will be 2 to 3 orders
of magnitude or less. Axial stress is represented by the axial force over the pipes cross-sectional
area:
Bending stress is the stress caused by body forces being applied to the piping. Body forces are
the pipe and medium weight, concentrated masses (valves, flanges), occasional forces (seismic,
wind, thrust loads), and forced displacements caused by growth from adjacent piping and
equipment connections.
Body forces create a resultant moment about the pipe, for which the stress can be represented
by the moment divided by the section modulus:
