Solid Mechanics for Static Equipment Engineer

This course will cover basic and advanced topics from Solid Mechanics required to provide a robust understanding of the background theory behind technical requirements of Piping and Pressure Vessel codes and standards. A refresher course on core and advanced topics of Solid mechanics required to understand technical background of Piping and Pressure Vessel codes and standards.

This course provides a thorough review of solid mechanics principles tailored specifically for engineers involved in the design, analysis, and assessment of static equipment such as pressure vessels, storage tanks, and heat exchangers. It covers the fundamental concepts of stress, strain, elasticity, plasticity, bending, torsion, and failure theories, while also connecting these principles to practical applications in static equipment design. The program emphasizes how solid mechanics underpins key codes and standards used in the industry, including ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code, helping engineers interpret code rules and apply engineering judgment in real-world scenarios. Through worked examples, case studies, and problem-solving exercises, participants will develop the skills needed to analyze complex load conditions, evaluate structural integrity, and ensure safe, efficient, and code-compliant designs.
