hello eve1,

Hi!

I`m new to this webpage, and hope for some good answers for use in my masters degree within fatigue. Currently I`m working on calculating the total life of a gusset specimen using strain based fracture mecahnics. I`ve read som articles on the topic, but have some difficulties on understanding the calculations itself. I`m using Excel in the calculations. If anyone has an excel-sheet, or other ways of helping me, I would hihgly appreciate it.

Thanks, Sean Angus

Hi I'm trying to work out the following problem

The pressure at the start of a 180Km stainless steel natural gas pipeline is 4MPa and at the end is 2MPa.  If the diameter of the pipe is 0.4m, what will be the gas flow rate through the system? (ignore losses other than friction)

(for natural gas, density = 40 Kg/m3, viscosity = 11x10-6)

This is from an exam paper and at the end of the paper there's a moody diagram with roughness values, the closest to stainless steel is commercial steel and has a k value of 0.045 mm.

I will be highly grateful if u will say me how to link subroutines with abaqus....... intel fortran compiler is there.......... how to proceed now????????
