Description
This specialized program is designed to provide in-depth, practical understanding of ASME Plastic Collapse Analysis with a strong focus on Local Criteria, implemented using ANSYS Simulate. The program bridges the gap between ASME code theory and real-world finite element application, enabling participants to confidently perform code-compliant structural integrity assessments.
The training systematically covers the ASME design philosophy, explaining why controlled local yielding is permitted and how plastic collapse differs from elastic failure. Participants will gain clarity on stress categorization, stress linearization, and acceptance criteria as per ASME Section VIII Division 2 and ASME FFS principles, which are critical in pressure vessel and mechanical equipment design.

PYTHAGORAS Engineering and Consultancy offers high-quality instruction in the field of finite element analysis with the Ansys software. A significant number of individuals hailing from various regions throughout the globe have derived advantages from the meticulously designed instructional program. A significant majority, over 90%, of our students successfully get positions inside esteemed firms, using the information acquired via my training program.
Dr. Joel Daniel, a highly esteemed individual with a Master of Technology and a Doctorate degree, has been recognized as a prominent Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Trainer for the last two decades. He is a member of the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), as well as the Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI) and the Institution of Production Engineers (IPE). He serves as a consultant in the field of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), conducts research, and has a position as an academic instructor. He earned his Ph.D. in fatigue and fracture mechanics.
As a scholar, he actively engages in several academic endeavours, such as serving as a teaching faculty member at multiple engineering institutions associated with JNTU. He was employed as an adjunct faculty member at ANURAG Engineering College. Delivered several guest lectures pertaining to modern technologies within the field of mechanical engineering. He had a position as a member of the curriculum board at Vignan engineering institutions. The individual in question has conducted reviews of several national and international publications, as well as provided guidance to a significant number of postgraduate and PhD students, both domestically and internationally. The individual organized Finite Element Analysis (FEA) workshops for esteemed educational institutions such as the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Dubai, and Navajo Technical University in the United States.
The individual has over two decades of research expertise in the fields of gas turbine design, vehicle engineering, and the oil and gas industry, having worked with Textron, GE, and Siemens. The individual employed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools, specifically ANSYS, to address intricate issues within various domains. These domains encompass linear and nonlinear systems, composites, structural vibrations (including modal, harmonic, random, and shock load analysis), rotor dynamics (both lateral and torsional), fatigue and fracture mechanics, as well as implicit and explicit analysis. He serves as a consultant for several firms, such as APSCO (USA), TATA HITACHI (JAPAN), HYDRO (US), Sundyne, Premier pumps, Ruhrpumpen, WOM, Word pumps, among others.
The course was developed with the intention of catering to the needs of graduate students seeking to further their careers in the field of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), as well as design engineers who need to enhance their understanding of FEA principles and independently make informed judgments based on FEA results.
Based on his extensive teaching and research background, he had a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge acquisition process among students inside his educational institution and a keen awareness of the requisite abilities necessary for successful entry into the sector. This served as a source of motivation for him to develop an appropriate curriculum that would bridge the divide between the industry and the educational institution. The curriculum was constructed to allow students to go from foundational concepts to the point where they can solve intricate problems. Numerous individuals from diverse regions around the world derived significant advantages from his instructional sessions, including the incorporation of their own research findings into their Master's and Doctoral dissertations, as well as securing enhanced employment prospects inside reputable organizations. The training program is highly recommended for anybody seeking to transition their career from design to analytical domains.
Dr. Joel noted that a significant number of design engineers rely on expertise in finite element analysis (FEA) to make engineering assessments. He always maintains the belief that possessing a shared understanding of design principles and finite element analysis (FEA) is essential for engineers in order to cultivate the creation of efficient and impactful products. This course aims to enhance the comprehension of design engineers about fundamental and advanced principles in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), enabling them to effectively use FEA techniques in the component design process.
