Abstract
Modeling and simulation techniques of nonlinear pipe restraints, such as unclamped pipe on a rack and a box beam support with gaps, are presented. Special considerations regarding analyzing the piping system, designing spring hangers, and qualifying to ASME/ANSI code requirements are discussed. Example results from the computer program PIPELINE are included for clarification purposes.
