Hello,
I am involved in preparing a preliminary screening tool for potential failure of PSV & BDV tail pipes with respect to Acoustic induced vibration.
I am currently referring to the method described in the article named below:
"Solving Acoustic-Induced Vibration Problems in the Design Stage Robert D. Bruce, Arno S. Bommer and Thomas E. LePage, CSTI acoustics, Houston, Texas"
I learned that for this activity some engineers follow:
the "EI Guidelines for the avoidance of vibration induced fatigue failure in process pipework"
I have not reffered to this guideline however.
I seek advice on the basic differences/ similarities between these two methods, and to see if the former can be used as an industry standard?
Further references and potential legislation/ industry standards towards these subject are also welcome.
Please do not suggest me FIV analysis by any specific softwares as this is just for preliminary screening of lines for which such detailed analysis can be eliminated.
