Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the nonlinear response of
single mitred bends. The analysis is based on a nonlinear
finite element formulation that employs a 9-noded Lagrange
degenerate shell element, in addition to a customized 11-noded
transition element. Elastic response of a mitred bend
subjected to internal pressure was compared to existing
analytical and experimental results. In addition, a nonlinear
analysis of a similar bend is performed. Based on the
numerical study, the collapse load and the corresponding load-deformation patterns are presented and discussed.
