Last few years we get an opportunity to explore several dynamic problems by our Clients, using advantages of dynamic applications within Caesar II software, as:
Harmonic Analysis
If the forces or displacements acting on the piping system take sinusoidal form a Harmonic Analysis has to be provided. The examples of Harmonic Analysis are pulsations and (forced) vibrations. We started in 2006 with these calculations on BASF Antwerp site.
Time History Analysis
This type of analysis can be provided for known time history profiles, such as fluid hammer load.
Seismic Spectrum Analysis
Since earthquakes cause random motion, response spectrum method has to be developed for this analysis. In 2009 we calculated our first piping systems disposed on earthquake loads.
Force Spectrum Analysis
This analysis, similar to Time History Analysis, is used for all types of impulse loadings such as slug flow or relief valve firing.
Natural Frequency Analysis
Natural frequency check can be provided to insure required system rigidity. This analysis is part of standard SENS calculation procedure.
