The influence of end constraints on pipe bends : a study of smooth pipe bends with flange and tangent pipe end constraints under in-plane bending

The importance of smooth pipe bends in design of piping systems is well established. Recent publications have been increasingly concerned with the effect of end constraints on the behaviour of smooth bends but there have been relatively few attempts at a solution to the problem. The divergence betwe...
