Review Finite elements in the analysis of pressure vessels and piping, an addendum: A bibliography (2001–2004) Jaroslav Mackerle* Linko?ping Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, S-581 83 Linko?ping, Sweden Received 30 November 2004; revised 13 December 2004; accepted 31 December 2004 Abstract The paper gives a bibliographical review of finite element methods(FEMs) applied for the analysis of pressure vessel structures/components and piping from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. This bibliography is a new addendum to the Finite elements in the analysis of pressure vessels and piping—a bibliography [1–3]. The listings at the end of the paper contain 856 references to papers and conference proceedings on the subject that were published in 2001–2004. These are classified in the following categories: linear and nonlinear, static and dynamic, stress and deflection analyses; stability problems; thermal problems; fracture mechanics problems; contact problems; fluid–structure interaction problems; manufacturing of pipes and tubes; welded pipes and pressure vessel components; development of special finite elements for pressure vessels and pipes; finite element software; and other topics. q 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction Pressure vessels and piping are widely used in reactor technology, the chemical industry, marine and space engineering. They often operate under extremes of high and low temperatures and high pressures, are becoming highly sophisticated and therefore also need advanced methods for their analyses. Advances are also made with materials applied for their fabrication. Concrete and composite materials are used more frequently in pressure vessels and their components to replace, in some cases,
