Stress analysis is an integral part of the overall piping system design effort. Pipe stress analysis address piping loads resulting from gravity, temperature, pressure, fluid flow, vibration/, seismic activity, wind and other environmental conditions.

Tau Engineering's capability in piping stress analysis includes:

• Flexibility analysis;
• Dynamic/Vibration/Seismic analysis;
• Fluid transient/water hammer/Nozzle load impact analysis
• On bottom stability analysis;
• Free span analysis;
• Other environmental load and nonlinear analysis
• Pipe erosion analysis

High Pressure High Temperature pressure vessels are becoming more important in Oil/gas industry. We have extensive experience in design and analysis of HPHT equipment.

Pressure vessel analysis includes:

• Flexibility analysis;
• Dynamical analsysis(water hammer, fluid transient, and Nozzle load analysis);
• On bottom stability analysis;
• Free span analysis

Elastomer packing elements are used extensively in many industries due to its large deformation capability and good sealing performance. Proper design and analysis of elastomer/rubber components requires special materials modeling and highly nonlinear FEA skills that are different with those used in metallic parts. Tau Engineering has years of research and industry experience in elastomeric analysis, including BOP annular packing element and RCD passive packing elements.

Elastomer design and analysis services in Tau Engineering include:

• BOP annular elastomer packing element;
• RCD passive packing element;
• O-ring and other elastomeric seal
• Other elastomer/rubber component design/analysis (e.g., bumpers, vibration isolators)

Tau Engineering provides structural analysis/design services to international design standard, (i.e. US Design Codes, British Design Codes) Tau Engineering is experienced in design and analysis of the following structures

• Offshore/Onshore structure;
• Lifting/transportation frame;
• Crane/Test frame;

With the following analysis capability:

• Static/dynamic stress analysis;
• Fatigue analysis;
• Linear/nonlinear buckling analysis;
• Connection design/analysis (e.g., bolt and weldment)
