An overall introduction to stress analysis of pressure pipelines: https://ke.qq.com/course/466707?tuin=1f645ab3. Engineers who are beginners or already have some understanding of pipeline stress analysis should read this carefully. It includes theoretical analysis, example exercises, classroom interactions, case studies, discussions on engineering vibrations, and training tests. The system enhances engineers’ capabilities in design and problem analysis and resolution. Through a step-by-step curriculum that progresses from basic to more advanced topics, engineers can learn the fundamental aspects of stress analysis in pressure pipelines in an orderly manner, and master the use of the commonly used software CAESARII for such analysis. It enables novice engineers to quickly master the knowledge of pressure pipeline design and analysis, improves their ability to handle practical engineering tasks, reduces the time required by companies to train engineers in pipeline stress analysis, lowers costs, and enhances productivity. 1.
