Understanding the Stress–Strain Curve

The stress–strain curve shows how a material behaves when stress is applied, from initial loading to final failure. The key points and regions shown in the diagram are explained below:

🔹 O–A (Elastic Region)
In this region, stress is proportional to strain. The material will return to its original shape once the load is removed.

🔹 A (Proportional Limit)
Beyond this point, stress and strain are no longer directly proportional.

🔹 B (Upper Yield Point)
The stress at which yielding begins and permanent deformation starts.

🔹 C (Lower Yield Point)
After initial yielding, the stress drops slightly while plastic deformation continues.

🔹 C–D (Strain Hardening Region)
The material requires increasing stress to continue deforming plastically due to strain hardening.

🔹 D (Ultimate Stress Point)
The maximum stress the material can withstand.

🔹 D–E (Necking Region)
Localized reduction in cross-section occurs, leading to failure.

🔹 E (Fracture Point)
Final rupture of the material.

Understanding each stage of the stress–strain curve is essential for material selection, stress analysis, and mechanical integrity assessments in piping, pressure vessels, and static equipment.

Do you know which standard is followed for designing atmospheric storage tanks?

It's the API 650 standard, followed by most countries all over the world. Regulated by the American Petroleum Institute.

But there are some other standards followed by different countries.

BS 2654 (British Standard)
EN 14015 (European Standard)
IS 803 (Indian Standard)

Bangladesh doesn't have a specific standard for atmospheric storage tanks. So, It mainly follows API 650 to design ASTs.

P.S: Atmospheric Storage Tanks have very low internal pressure compared to pressurized tanks. ASTs are mainly used to store different fluids.

What Is Stress Analysis and Why Is It Important for Process Piping & Pipelines?

Stress analysis is an engineering evaluation used to determine how piping and pipelines respond to operating loads such as pressure, temperature changes, weight, wind, and seismic effects.

In process piping and pipelines, stress analysis is essential because it helps to:

✔️ Ensure piping systems can safely withstand operating and environmental loads
✔️ Prevent excessive stresses that may lead to leakage, fatigue, or failure
✔️ Protect connected equipment such as pumps, compressors, and vessels from overload
✔️ Verify flexibility and proper support placement
✔️ Maintain compliance with applicable design codes and project requirements

Without proper stress analysis, piping systems may experience unexpected movement, overstress, or long-term damage, leading to safety risks, unplanned shutdowns, and costly repairs.

At Canaben Engineering Inc., we perform piping and pipeline stress analysis to support safe, reliable, and efficient operation across a wide range of industries and project types worldwide.
