Finite elements in the analysis of pressure vessels and piping, an addendum: A bibliography (2001-2004)

The paper gives a bibliographical review of finite element methods(FEMs) applied for the analysis of pressure vessel structures/components and piping from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. This bibliography is a new addendum to the Finite elements in the analysis of pressure vessels and piping-a bibliography [1], [2], [3]. The listings at the end of the paper contain 856 references to papers and conference proceedings on the subject that were published in 2001-2004. These are classified in the following categories: linear and nonlinear, static and dynamic, stress and deflection analyses; stability problems; thermal problems; fracture mechanics problems; contact problems; fluid-structure interaction problems; manufacturing of pipes and tubes; welded pipes and pressure vessel components; development of special finite elements for pressure vessels and pipes; finite element software; and other topics.
