Tubesheet Analysis—A Proposed ASME Design Procedure

By: Alan I. Soler, S.M. Caldwell, Krishna P. Singh Abstract: A simplified design procedure is presented to determine tubesheet thickness in U-tube, floating-head, and fixed-tubesheet shell-and-tube exchangers. The procedure is based on classical plate-and-shell theory…

Analysis of Tube-Tubesheet Joint Loading Including Thermal Loading

By: Alan Soler, Xu Hong Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers Year: 1984 Abstract: The tube-to-tubesheet rolling process is reexamined using a two-dimensional elastic plastic analysis. In addition to room temperature rolling, subsequent thermal cycling…
