Structural and thermal analysis of the flange used in connection with hose for the transportation of LNG was computationally simulated by the method of finite element and probabilistically evaluated in view of the several uncertainties in the performance parameters. The distribution function and sensitivity factors for the maximum stresses were found out. The effect of various random variables including geometry, structural/thermal properties etc on the maximum stresses were studied probabilistically. These results were useful to identify the most critical random variable in order to optimize the design well before it is introduced in the market. This reduces the manufacturing cost …

Finite element analysis (FEA) of the hose assembly used for transportation of Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has become a powerful tool in predicting the deformation and stress distributions. FEA helps in analyzing the model and optimizing the design in hostile environment. In the present work, computations are made to predict the maximum stresses caused due to structural and thermal effects in the LNG transportation. The analysis leads to the selection of the appropriate materials to be used and to the identification of both the most critical measurements and parameters. Most engineering design methods are deterministic, but in reality, many engineering …
