Stress Distribution in the Region Around Two Normally Intersecting Pipes due to In-Plane Bending Moments Using Finite Element Method

“…Less work has been reported on stress distribution in the region of the main and branch pipe intersection due to in-plane or out-of-plane bending moment loading applied at the main and/or branch pipe ends. These include Comm et al (1972), Gwaltney et al (1975), Baldur (1980), Moffat et al (1984), Gillroy et al (1985), Lock et al (1985). Out of these, only a few were concerned with numerical computation of stress and deformation around branch pipe connection using finite element method.…”
