What about the thrust exerted on the fixed supports at both ends of the square compensator?
Thread Content
I would like to ask all fellow marine engineers: regarding the thrust exerted on the fixed supports at both ends of the square compensator, when we provide the structural engineering team with information about this thrust, is the axial force calculated by Carsar2 equal to the total thrust? Or is that force merely an elastic force? Should the total thrust be the axial force calculated by carsar2 plus the friction force?
If it is the outer pipe of a steam pipeline, when conducting a hydrostatic test and increasing the load on the pipe tray, the operating conditions also need to be adjusted.
