Course details
This course provides a structured overview of engineering mechanics essential for comprehending and applying the technical requirements of the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It covers fundamental concepts such as stress, strain, elasticity, plasticity, bending, torsion, and failure theories, with a focus on their relevance to piping and pressure vessel design. Participants will learn how these mechanics principles form the foundation for code rules, including allowable stresses, design margins, and safety factors. The course bridges theory with practical applications, helping engineers interpret code provisions, evaluate structural integrity, and make informed design decisions in compliance with industry standards. Through examples, exercises, and case studies, attendees will gain a solid conceptual framework for understanding how mechanics underpins piping and pressure vessel design and analysis.
