]]> Mon, 2 Nov 2026 13:00:00 GMT Vibration induced Fatigue in Piping Systems https://www.saimeche.org.za/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2012659 https://www.saimeche.org.za/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=2012659 This course provides 30 hours lecturing, examples, case study and discussion. The course is conducted over a period of 5 consecutive days, . Course notes will be provided as PDF file. 

 

The course covers the assessment of vibration-induced fatigue of piping systems. This includes Flow-Induced Vibration (FIV) and Acoustic-Induced Vibration (AIV) as well as other types of vibration of piping systems. It provides a wide background about vibrational problems and practical solutions, the application of Energy Institute rules for vibration-induced fatigue assessment and advanced methods for detailed assessment of FIV and AIV. This is a theoretical course 

 

Who should attend this course:

These courses are introductory (entry level) no prior knowledge of FEA is required. The only prerequisite is general mechanical engineering background.                                                                            This is a theoretical course.
