Mechanical Engineering
Verification of load-bearing capacity, serviceability, and fatigue strength
For the Dinorwig power plant, various systems
of water and hydraulic piping were dimensioned and tested for fatigue strength. Internal pressure analyses were performed, and the loads during the pressure test were analyzed. In addition, the positions of the supports for the
piping system were validated.
