A finite element formulation for piping structures based on thin shell displacements theory

This chapter deals with the more usual formulations in the numerical approaches to the problem of stress analysis of curved pipes under generalized bending loads. The application of curved pipe elements is critically necessary in any piping structure, no matter which the project applications are. De...
