Course Highlights
The course is a comprehensive program designed to equip engineers and professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform advanced design and analysis of pressure vessels and heat exchangers.
Through a combination of theoretical lectures, practical examples, and case studies, participants will learn how to employ finite element analysis (FEA) for stress analysis, fatigue evaluation, buckling and stability analysis, creep analysis, and more. The course also covers topics such as non-linear analysis, residual stress analysis, and the integration of design by analysis with other design approaches.
By the end of the course, participants will have a strong foundation in design by analysis, enabling them to confidently apply these methodologies to tackle real-world challenges in pressure vessel and heat exchanger design. Whether you are an engineer, designer, or professional involved in the design and analysis of pressure vessels and heat exchangers, this course will enhance your skills and expertise, ensuring compliance with ASME codes and industry best practices.
