i have to analyze the pressure vessel in the code aster in which i need to define the load history . The only thing i know is design pressure. anyone who can tell what load history i should define and of how much time? Tanks in advance
Fatigue analysis is relevant for cyclic loads. It may be only a few or many cycles of partial or full loading/ unloading (of a pressure vessel !)during a day or week. This is what I feel is meant by load history, in general.
