Simplified analytical methods and experimental correlations of damping in piping during dynamic high-level inelastic response

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6440455
Simplified methods for predicting equivalent viscous damping are used to assess damping contributions due to piping inelastic plastic hinge action and support snubbers. These increments are compared to experimental findings from shake and snap-back tests of several pipe systems. Good correlations were found confirming the usefulness of the simplified methods.
