Local Strain and Stress Analysis of Globe Valve Housing Subjected to External Axial Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

Globe valves have widespread application in various industrial sectors. Due to this variety, valve is subjected to different working loads (static, dynamic, thermal etc.) that can cause valve failures. In this paper, the analysis is performed on globe valve subjected to external axial loading caused by pipeline dilatations. Experimental analysis was focused on determining local mechanical properties of critical areas, i.e. on local areas of globe valve housing with high geometrical discontinuities. Experimental analysis and numerical model verification were performed using system Aramis based on Digital Image Correlation method. Using full-field experimental results, numerical model behavior was improved and enabled acquiring more accurate results in transition areas that cannot be found in currently available literature. Determining local mechanical properties of critical areas enables better understanding of complex structures such as valve housing and provides an opportunity for further development and improvement for practical industrial application.
